WE are thankful to God for the interest taken in the publication of “The Story of My Wanderings already rendering another edition necessary. The personal expressions of pleasure in the perusal of the volume received from many servants of God have filled us with gratitude and thankfulness, and we send forth the little volume again, unaltered in any way, in the hope that it may still be used-first, to awaken deeper interest in all that concerns God's ancient and wonderful people, who are still "beloved for the Fathers' sakes"; and, secondly, to direct attention to the marvelous land which will yet hear the lovely words, "Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”
We venture to add a few words received from that earnest worker, Mr. Gawin Kirkham, shortly after returning from visiting the same scenes in Palestine. He says: "I have carefully read the volume, ' The Story of My Wanderings,' and have found myself singularly interested in the narrative.... I went over the same ground, and in reading the book I retraced my own footsteps very vividly.... I am recommending all my friends to obtain it, and they will have the story of my wanderings also.”
January, 1891.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE TO THE THIRD EDITION
AT the request of many friends we have re-issued this volume. It has been out of print for years, but is now again sent forth with the earnest desire that the perusal of the story of the author's wanderings in these wonderful Bible Lands may prove helpful, instructive, and a blessing to many new readers.
We desire to state that in future publications by this writer, the name will be altered from Levinsohn to the Anglicized form Levinson.
November, 1899.

PUBLISHER'S NOTE TO THE FOURTH EDITION
Tins volume, which has been out of print for some time, is now re-issued. We have taken the opportunity to add two quite new portraits of the author. These, we are sure, will add to the interest in this new edition, which we send forth trusting it may still prove an incentive to all who read the story of the writer's "Wanderings.”
