DAILY NEWS.—"To that charming book of travel the author has now added a supplementary chapter, giving the history of the last 'Twenty Years of the Armenian Question. It is a chapter of modern history which Mr. Bryce has special, and perhaps unique, qualifications for writing. . . . He is a historian, at once of brilliant parts and impartial temper."
WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.—"We trust, however, that this chapter will be widely read and studied. Mr. Bryce, with the practised hand of the historian, seizes the salient points in the situation during the past two decades, and groups them in a manner which shows forth at a glance the damning facts so far as the Powers and the Sultan are concerned."
SPEAKER,—"Has long since established its right to be considered one of the most charming books of the charming class to which it belongs. . . . It is because Mr. Bryce, in this supplementary chapter, gives us what is, so far as we know, the most precise, connected and complete sketch of the origin and history of the Armenian question in its modern aspect that we give a double welcome to this new edition of an old friend."
GUARDIAN.—"To the new edition of his delightful tour in Transcaucasia in the autumn of 1876 Mr. Bryce has added a chapter on The Recent History of the Armenian Question.' As a statement of facts it is excellent, and, though we do not wholly go with Mr. Bryce in his conclusions, they are rather indicated than stated, and have not been allowed to colour in any way the narrative of the events which have made the last two years memorable even in the annals of Turkish oppression."
SCOTSMAN.—"Mr. Bryce's 'Transcaucasia and Ararat' is deservedly one of the classics of modern travel. But the book has an interest beyond that which it posseses as a narrative of journeys and ascents in an interesting region of the world. It deals with races, places, and political questions which have recently been thrust by terrible events prominently under the notice of the world."
