Saturday Review. The book makes the reader feel a-lmost as if he, as well as the writer, had gazed upon the scenes which he describes. A new site [of Calvary] which has been suggested, is supported by evidence of a very eurious kind, namely, that the true 'Golgotha' bears resemblance to a skull and Mr. Home, with the aid of the camera, presents this truly striking resemblance to the astonished reader. There is a large degree of probability that the sepulchre hewn in the rock which Mr. Home visited (and of which he gives a sketch) was the temporary resting place of the body of Christ."—Oswestry and Border Counties Advertiser.
