Book Description
Excerpt from The Real Palestine of Today In writing this little book, I have tried to do just one thing - to draw in rapid outline a picture of Palestine, as it appears to those who look long enough to appreciate something of the true values of a land which differs in so many respects from our own that a mere hurried glance is apt to see only those things which are strange and incongruous. I have, therefore, kept out-of-doors as much as possible; for the most solemn and lasting memory of the Holy Land is not the incoherent jumble of doubtful shrines, but the beauty of the everlasting hills. And because, in painting a landscape, each detail must have some definite position and coloring, it has seemed better not to go into the discussion of conflicting opinions, but, in every instance, without qualification or defense, to fit some one conclusion into its proper place in the picture. Ordinarily this has been the most commonly accepted belief. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
