Excerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine It is from Edoln's rock-hewn capital that the frontier of J udea is approached. A deep mountain basin is strewed with Petra's ruins, is hemmed around by a perpendicular wall of cliffs, whose precipices are sculptured for the facades and excavated for the chambers, which served the indwellers of this nest in the rock for habitations during life, for temples in which to worship, and for tombs where all that was mortal of them at last was laid. The descent north wards is through a series of ravines that often are mere rifts in the mountain channels by which the waters of winter's storms rush down to the plain. One great valley, beginning almost as far north as Mount Hermon, runs from north to south through Southern Syria, and continues its course still further to the southward. Its upper portion is the valley of the Jordan, commonly called by Arabs El Ghor. By most of the Arabian geographers this name is applied to the valley of the Jordan exclusively; but one of them, Abulfelda, says that the Ghor extends continuously to the Red Sea from the Lake of Tiberias. The ancient geographers are silent as to the prolongation of the great valley from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. The central portion of the valley is occupied by the Dead Sea in its greatest length, and by a small tract at its southern extremity, which is the Valley of Salt of the Scriptures, reaching up to some declivities that are probably those called in the Bible the ascent of Akrabbim. From these cliffs the great plain to which the name El Arabah is given by the Arabs, and which was wholly unknown to the last generation of travellers, commences, and continues uninterruptedly to tlie site of ancient Elath, at the head of the Gulf of Akabah on the Red Sea.

Excerpt from Peasant Life in the Holy Land To the new comer from the West, who obtains his first glimpse of Eastern life as he sets foot on the shores of Palestine, all he sees and hears comes with startling novelty. Every turn of the road or street, each group by the wayside, the long lines of camels winding down the valleys, the picturesque crowds of an Eastern market, the varied incidents of peasant life, all present brilliant pictures to eye and mind with a Vividness and freshness which are apt to be much dimmed by long residence among these scenes and intimate familiarity with them.

Excerpt from The Land and the Book, or Biblical Illustrations Drawn From the Manners and Customs, the Scenes and Scenery, of the Holy Land: Lebanon, Damascus and Beyond Jordan In the preparation of this volume the author has availed himself of the valuable archaeological researches of the American Palestine Exploration Society and the Palestine Exploration Fund of England; and he has also incorporated into it many important and interesting observations derived from the publications of eminent writers and travellers who have recently visited the regions east of the Jordan. The pictorial illustrations of manners and customs have been designed from photographs of living subjects, and the scenic views were composed from photographs taken by the author and by the exploration societies of England and America; and all of them have been drawn and engraved in London, Paris, and New York.

The Holy Land has captures the attention of mankind since the very beginning of human civilization, and even more so from the early days of Christianity. Nineteenth-century Palestine fired the imagination of the Western world. Improved travel facilities and greater political stability in the Near Easst brought ever-increasing numbers of visitors to the Holy Land, affecting the quantity and quality of the pictorial depictions of its sites and scenes. Like other countries in the exotic Muslim East, Palestine also became a point of focal interest for painters of the Orientalist school. The author has assembled a fascinating collection of unique works of art, executed in the diverse styles of nineteenth-century painting. Around these reproductions, many of them in colour, he reconstructs the story of the artists who produced them, who came from many European countries and from North America. The result is an important and unique perspective on the sites, persons, events and customs of the Holy Land in that century.

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 be still room left fora contribution to our knowledge.
