Abstract

WE regret to have to record the death of the well-known traveller, Mr. William Gifford Palgrave. He died in his sixty-third year at Montevideo, where he was British Minister. Mr. Palgrave will be remembered chiefly as the author of the famous “Narrative of a Year's Journey through Central and Eastern Arabia, 1862–63,” one of the most brilliant and fascinating books of travel of modern times.
