Download or read book The Holy Land Classic Reprint written by John Kelman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Land The secrets of satisfactory travel are mainly two - to have certain questions ready to ask; and to detach oneself from preconceptions, so as to find not what one expects, or desires to find, but what is there. These rules I endeavoured to follow while in the Holy Land. As to this book, I have tried to write it "with my eye on the object" - to describe things as they were seen, and to see them again while describing them. The extent to which this ideal has been reached, or missed, will be the measure of the book's success or failure. No attempt has been made to add anything original to the scientific knowledge of Palestine. For that task I am not qualified either by sufficient travel or by expert study of the subject. On the other hand, this is not merely an itinerary, or journal of experiences and adventures of the road.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Visit to Europe and the Holy Land In the following pages I have endeavored to describe what I saw, and the impressions received, during a visit to some of the most interesting countries of the Old World, from the point of view of an honest and unprejudiced American. The time that I was abroad might be considered by some as insufficient to obtain an intelligent understanding of the matters about which I write. My answer to this is, that I have not attempted the impossible, and I am well aware that few men are able to write a thoroughly philosophical treatise on the historical, political, and social life of even their own native land. I am also cognizant of the fact that many foreigners, after a brief sojourn in other countries, attempt to discuss them intelligently, a work which they oftentimes would not be able to accomplish if they had lived in them their whole lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Vol. 2 of 2: Comprising Recollections, Sketches, and Reflections, Made During a Tour in the East I passed the evening and night in the Desert of St. John, to take leave of our excellent Monks, whose remembrance will always accompany us. The recollection of virtues, humble, but perfect, remains in the soul like the perfumed odors of a temple. We left, with these good fathers, an alms, barely sufficient to indemnify them for the expenses we had occasioned them: the risks they had to run for us they reckoned as nothing: they entreated me to recommend them to the protection of the terrible Abougosh, whom I was to sec again at Jeremy. We set oft' before daybreak to avoid the importunities of the Bedouins of Bethlehem, of the Desert, and of St. John, who ceased not to follow, and even began to menace me. At eight in the morning we had crossed the high mountains crowned by the tombs of the Maccabees, and were seated under the fig trees of Jeremy, smoking our pipes, and taking coffee with Abougosh, his uncle, and his brothers. Abougosh lavished new marks of respect and kindness on me. He offered me a horse, which I refused, as I determined not to make him a present of any sort, lest it should be construed an acknowledgment of the tribute he commonly imposed on pilgrims-a tribute from which Ibrahim had released them. I placed the monks of St. John, of Bethlehem, and of Jerusalem, under his protection. I have since found that he really went and delivered them from the annoyances of the Bedouins of the Desert.

For a painter alone these notes may contain a de gree of interest; some of them are exclusively picturesque they are the written glance, the coup d'azil of a lover of nature, seated on his camel, or on the deck of his vessel, and who, with a few colorless strokes of his pencil upon the pages of his journal, sketches the landscapes as they fly before him, that he may retain some remembrance of them for the morrow.

I acted as it pleased me, yielding, with delicious license, to the whim of every passing hour. I prayed or I laughed; I knelt or I turned my back; I wept or I sang; and when I sang it was now a song of sinful humanity and now a grand old monkish hymn, to which my voice made the moonlit streets of Jerusalem ring.as I strolled along them, or which I sent oating over the holy waves of. Galilee. I have written my book even as I traveled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Traveling in the Holy Land Through the Stereoscope Classic Reprint written by Jesse Lyman Hurlbut and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Traveling in the Holy Land Through the Stereoscope It is the recognition of these two great facts that has determined the nature of this book. If stereographs are life-size spaces of three dimensions to the eyes, they Should be recognized as such and used as such. And if they may be to a greater or less degree, according as we use them, the realities to us, then they should be treated so as to make them realities as far as possible. And it seems the more we treat them as places, as Palestine itself, the more they become the same to us. Accordingly in the following pages are given such maps and information as will make this small volume serve the purpose of a guide-book, and at the same time, as I said at the beginning, I have tried to serve in it as a personal guide, saying everything in such a way as to constantly help and lead us to make this tour, to visit these stereographed scenes, as a tourist visits the actual scenes in Palestine. It will be found that on this stereoscopic tour one is carried to all the more important places in Palestine, and in the same order that a tourist might visit them; and in the more important sections the stereographed scenes are so connected that you may move from one position to another in such a way as to really make it a continuous journey. I urge upon all who have not actually visited Palestine, to give the closest attention to the maps and the descriptions, with the purpose of always keeping their bearings as they move from one place to another. Finally, we have Space for only a word on the impor tance of the land of Palestine, why we need to know it intimately, why we should stand in the very presence of its hills and valleys.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey to Egypt and the Holy Land, in 1869-1870 IN offering to the public a volume of travels extend ing over countries often visited and described, a few words of explanation may be necessary. For it may be asked, Why publish such a book Our answer is, To meet the wishes of numerous friends, and also to contribute something to the knowledge of the sacred and classical lands within a compass that may be easily read; perhaps moved too by something of the spirit of Juvenal, Shall I be forever 3. Hearer only P* I had for years cherished an intense desire to visit Europe, and especially Palestine, consecrated by the presence and labors of the Prophets, of Christ, and of his Apostles. Without visiting Europe and the Orient, I felt that my education was incomplete, - that there was a vacuum that must be filled up. Through the kindness of the Hon. J. A. J. Cres well, postmaster-general, I procured letters from the Hon. Secretary of State to the consul-general of Egypt, the Consul of Jerusalem, and our Minister at Constantinople Hon. Edward Joy Morris.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of a Tour in the Holy Land: In May and June, 1840 I have been requested by the Committee of the Ladies' Hibernian Female School Society, to allow the following extracts from my private Journal, (made originally, merely for the perusal of my friends, ) to be printed with a view to the benefit of the above Institution. It was necessarily most agreeable to me to be able in any way to further the objects of that useful Society, and I was happy to accede to the request. I trust that the curiosity of my friends, as to what may have been my impressions during a journey through Palestine, and the interest which almost all persons entertain upon the subject of that country, may cause the undertaking to answer the purpose for which it is intended; and if, in addition to this object, these extracts chance to prove useful as a guide book to any future traveller in the East, my satisfaction will be much increased. In furtherance of the latter object, I have subjoined, in the Appendix, an index of our resting places, and the number of hours' journey between each.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From the Holy Land These letters, written to my mother, and published chiefly at her request, can lay no claim to literary worth; their only possible value lies in their being descriptive of impressions received on the spot of that Land which stands alone in its character upon the map of the world. But the reader will more easily excuse the shortcomings of my pen than, I hope, he will ever do those of my pencil! I will make no apologies for the sketches, save to remind the reader that most of them had to be done in haste. They are necessarily considerably reduced in size in the reproduction, so as to suit them to the book form.
