Book Description

Excerpt from The Land of Israel: A Journal of Travels in Palestine, Undertaken With Special Reference, to Its Physical Character Divines, antiquarians, and poets have trodden the fields of Palestine, and made the world familiar with its most inte resting and striking features. Not to enumerate others, the researches of Dr. Robinson and the glowing pictures of Dean Stanley have, upon most subjects connected with the country, left little to be filled in by their successors. Notwithstanding this, however, and although libraries teem with volumes of geographical and archaeological investiga tions, the physical history of the Holy Land appears, hitherto, to have scarcely received the attention that is due to it, and there may in this direction he still room left fora contribution to our knowledge.
