This is not a dry record of the sepulchres, but a continuous narrative full of observations upon the manners and customs of the people, the Biblical associations of the sites, the Holy City and its memories, and is based upon a six years' experience in the country itself. No other modern traveler has enjoyed the same advantages as Major Conder, or has used his opportunities to better purpose. Text only. "The great work commenced by the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1872 has recently been brought to a successful conclusion. Western Palestine is now surveyed from Dan to Beersheba; the position of every village, of every ruin is fixed with accuracy; temples, synagogues, churches, tombs, castles, have been carefully measured and planned; local traditions have been taken down from the lips of the natives; and a mass of general information has been collected which when properly classified and arranged, will be of the highest value to Biblical students....Lieut. Conder's narrative is lively and readable; the general aspect of Palestine is brought before the student with a clearness which has rarely been attained before, and there are few subjects connected with the country on which fresh light has not been thrown. Some of the descriptive passages are peculiarly happy and faithful....There are interesting and instructive chapters on the present inhabitants of the country, and on the fertility of Palestine. Lieut. Conder is of the opinion that the Samaritans are 'the only true descendants of Israel, and the only remnant of the ten tribes, with exception, perhaps, of those still dispersed in Assria'; that the fellahin speak 'Aramaic rather than Arabic,' and have most probably sprung from 'an almost unmixed Aramean stock'; and that 'the hosts of Midian' were 'no doubt the ancestors of the modern Bedawin.'" -The Athen�um "Captain Conder is well known as a careful and accurate writer. Few travelers are at the same time historians of so much credibility. His 'Tent Work in Palestine'...was a great contribution to the literature of that country." -The Education Outlook "The work gives as accurate a general description as possible of Palestine, which, through the labors of the Committee of the Exploration Fund, is brought home to us in such a way that the student may travel, in his study, over its weary roads and rugged hills with an ache, and may ford its dangerous streams, and pass through its malarious plains without discomfort." -Publishers Weekly "The account of Lieut. Conder's labors is not merely the interesting record of a great work; it has the additional charm of being exceedingly well written; and it will always remain one of the most valuable contributions to the literature on Palestine." -Pall Mall Gazette "An admirable summary of what may be regarded as the fixed and indisputable data for determining the vexed problems relating to the holy sites." -Saturday Review CONTENTS: PREFACE INTRODUCTION I.

Excerpt from Tent Work in Palestine, Vol. 2 of 2: A Record of Discovery and Adventure The view from the tents on every side was very fine. To the south we looked out over the long thorn-groves, towards the open plain stretching for eight miles to the Dead Sea, which appeared as a gleaming thread, shut in by long dim ridges of mountain, while the square tower of the modern Eriha or Jericho appeared in mid distance. In the early morning I looked out, and saw the long steel-blue ranges capped with rolling wreaths of cloud, behind which the ruddy streak of dawn ran out, the very light which, morning after morning, used to be watched by the priests in the Temple, gradually spreading towards the Hebron moun tains.
