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.

Download or read book Holy Land and Holy Writ Classic Reprint written by John T. Durward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-02 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holy Land and Holy Writ There is no originality in this linking together of the Bible and Palestine on our title page. It has been gracefully done by both Thomson and Geikie. In fact it can hardly be avoided; for the book, to be understood, must be illustrated by the habits of the people among whom it was written, and to be beautiful, must be illustrated by the vistas of Palestine's moun tains, plains, and waters; and on the other hand, the land would be a most unprofitable one for the traveler in saddle or in spirit, without its life history and without the halo that Scripture hangs around it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Recollections, Sketches, and Reflections Made During a Tour in the East If the reader desires to find in these volumes aught beyond the fugitive impressions of a passenger who proceeds to his object without pausing, he had better close them. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Description of the Holy Land The writer's language is ordinary mediaeval Latin, but is somewhat less polished than that of Theoderich. Many of his descriptions are clear and distinct, and such as could only have been written by an educated man. We cannot give much praise to his arrangement of his materials, which is extremely confused. He makes several allusions to the seven seals of the Revelation of St. John, all of which have been omitted in the present edition.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tent Life in the Holy Land I visited the sacred soil, as a pilgrim, seeking mine own pleasure. I went where it pleased me. 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 The Spell of the Holy Land Classic Reprint written by Archie Bell and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spell of the Holy Land There are two kinds of pilgrims to the Holy Land. Some journey to Palestine from religious motives, while others go because by nature they are wanderers over the face of the earth. It seems only fair to my readers to declare at the outset that I belong to the second class. I wanted to see Palestine because I had been assured that I would find there many things that were new, although this seemed to be something of a paradox, for many scientists and archaeologists believe that the northern part of Syria and Palestine possessed a civilization far more ancient than that of Egypt, and that in Baalbek's marble ruins are fragments dating back to the earliest prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Indeed, there is a tradition that the "altar of the Lord," built by the son of Adam and Eve, was the beginning of that holy city. My informants told me that in Baalbek, that hoary city of Baal, I would find a kaleidoscope of colour and novelty which alone would cause enthusiastic impressions of Egyptian Thebes to fade from my mind.
