Book Notice.

Mr. William Morton Fullerton '86, who since graduation has achieved a most enviable reputation in literary work, has just issued his first book, entitled "In Cairo." It is a highly entertaining little volume, being a short series of pen sketches written after a considerable sojourn in Egypt. These who are at all familiar with Mr. Fullerton's work will recognize at once in those vivid and picturesque sketches the charming personality of the writer: while to those unacquainted with the author and his writing, the sketches cannot but prove of more than ordinary interest and profit. The scholarly side of Mr. Fullerton's character shows in the chapters on Egyptian religion where of Mr. Fullerton's researches will have a very considerable value.

The volume is published in a convenient size and the letter-press work is perfect. MacMillan is the publisher. It is for sale at Amee's and at the Boston book shops.

While in college Mr. Fullerton showed distinct promise as a writer and litterateur; and since graduation his work has more than fulfilled the expectations of his friends. For some time he was engaged in literary work on the London Times. His work was of the highest order and he has received marked recognition for it. In the past two years he has travelled extensively on the continent, keeping up meanwhile his literary work.

["In Cairo," by William Morton Fullerton. MacMillan, New York and London. 1891. 75 cents.]
