Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of a Journey in Palestine October 29. - I left Jerusalem at AM and rode by way of Bethlehem to U1 tas, where Elijah Mashallam joined me. This valley is very fertile, being watered by the Pools of Solomon, which we passed at P. M. By ane1o1d the aqueduct was 81 ft. Above the bottom of the Pool of Hezekiah in Jerusalem. The ground kept rising until we reached Khan Cull at 5 15 P. M. We arrived at Hebron at 6 30 pm, where we encamped Wolves, jac'kals, boars, foxes, badgers, and porcupines abounded. A great deal of land is cultivated, and large vineyards were near the town. October 30. -we had to remain all day to enable the muleteers to get barley, water, and other articles for the journey. I went to see a tree called Abraham Oak, 23 ft. In circumference, near which I got two fossil shells. We afterwards rode to visit the ruins of Rama, on the plain of Mamre, and passed by the E. Side of Hebron, where the limestone was nearly level, dipping slightly to the s. E. At 2 P M. We passed by ain-es-lin, where I got fossil shells much crushed. The ruins at Rama measured 214 ft. From E. To w. By 165 ft. N. To s., the walls were 5 ft. 10 in. Thick, of Shelly limestone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey to Palestine Pompeu, being covered with ashes and Cinders from the Vesuvian locomotive. Let us now touch the electric bell, and bring the aproned servant to our relief. But he heeds not the touch. We ring again and again; but, according to Tenny son's Mariana, He cometh not', she said. He never did come. We saw and heard others ring for him; but he never responded. If there is anything in the world a negro hates, it is a bell. Let the ladies speak awhile to this point. The electric bell in the Pullman is an innocent affair, a child-amuser, and a pretty toy; but for the purpose for which it was constructed, it is an ut ter failure and an useless appendage. Just a word more about this flying palace, and we leave it. The eggs gave out in Sout hern Alabama, the tomatoes in North Alabama, the ice was exhausted in Tennessee, and the lemons all departed in Ken tucky. Things are not what they seem, said Longfellow. The names of our Southern rivers, as I have crossed the streams one by one, bring back to memory a number of what were called slavery songs. The Tombigbee, the Tennessee, the Ken tucky, and the Ohio each recalled one or more of these peculiarly pathetic melodies. A frequently recurring expression in them was Way down.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from To-Day in Palestine NO country has been so much studied by our ablest men and had so much written about it as Palestine. It is, however, an inexhaustible subject. As the land where Jesus lived, taught and died, it will never cease to be in the daily thought of the Christian. And therefore I think there is room for many more vol umes that give to us a fuller knowledge of the land and people. I have written primarily for the traveler. 'a visit to Palestine is no longer a difficult trip made by a few who delight and awe their friends and countrymen on their return. It is no more difficult than a tour in England, except that it is farther away and the coun try is not yet in all respects prepared to furnish the comfort and speed of more advanced lands. Many have made this tour and described it. But I do not think any person, however gifted, can gain a correct knowledge of the land in a single trip. The first trip only opens the way and gives a foundation upon which to build. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-19 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Travel-Letters From Palestine and the East Every land is holy since God made, and is in and over every land. Still there is a sense in which only one land is holy. And that because its mountains and plains and cities, its fields, flocks and flowers, its peoples and laws and cus toms, are woven into every part of our Bible; because of those holy ones who lived and wrought there for us; and holy because of the divers times and places and manners in which God has here revealed Himself to His people, and through chosen vessels to all the world. But most of all, holy because of that Holy One who here had His cradle and home, His workshop, pulpit and school room, His Golgotha and Olivet. And because of the future when that strangest of people shall turn unto Christ, and when in stead of the ancient city of Jerusalem, now in ruins, the New Jerusalem, which furnished the last and perhaps the most beautiful picture of heaven, shall be let down out of heaven, may Palestine truly be called the Holy Land. To visit this land, walk its ways, commune with its choicest souls in their old homes and in the light of the Land to read the Book, is a privilege to be coveted by any one, and particularly by one whose sole work is to preach the Gospel here revealed. In the good providence of God this privilege came to the writer, and after due provision for home and church, with grateful heart, he left home on March the third for New York.

The sun sets, the night Closes around us, and our motley company of passen gers seek rest in Sleep. The pilgrims to the holy places say a prayer, cross themselves, spread their rugs on the deck and lie down contentedly. The Mohammedans have gone through their afier - sunset devotions, and now they smoke and talk till sleep overtakes them. The saloon-passengers are in no haste to retire, but by ten o'clock they too have gone to their cabins, and the ship is left to the seamen and the sea. We sleep, but through the hours of the night onward drives our ves sel unceasingly to her port. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Naturally, therefore, the letters took the direct and simple form of a journal. The record closes abruptly, for even then the fatal fever was stealing upon him and he could add no more. The letters are given just as written, with the omission, especially in the first, of a few personal allusions. Dr. Riggs, of Auburn Seminary, the leader of the party, has kindly verified the historical and geo graphical references.
