Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stones of Palestine There are those to whom a journey into Holy Land means what it did to the Crusaders of old. There are those to whom any sort of a journey away from the comforts and conveniences of home, is no temptation. And there are those to whom the limited purse or the limited time makes the "fire-side journey" the only possible one. Perhaps among all of these I may find a reader, and it is in the hope of bringing to him or her some of the pleasure I have found in going over these stones of Palestine, that I am sending out this little book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Paths Through Old Palestine From our earliest childhood when at Christ mas time we gazed with intense interest at the Wise-men on their gaily caparisoned camels, those great awkward ships of the desert have been associated in our minds with Palestine. The Child held close in Mary's arms as she sat upon the donkey while Joseph urged it on through the day and the night in the hurried flight into Egypt has made that faithful little beast a part of Palestine.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Palestine, Past and Present: With Biblical, Literary, and Scientific Notices But all these terrors and beauties are considered the natural consequences of sea-life, and seem to lead the souls Of many to find the cause of the one in nothing stronger than a hard wind, and of the other in nothing higher than a blue sky. It is strange that so little true religion, with so faint an acknowledgment of God, exists among sea-faring men, around whom such mighty motives are incessantly gathering.

This inscription they had visited in a previous year. Further, the quick eye Of the hostess of Dunecht had caught sight of some curious sculptures on a stone by the road-side on the way to the minus cule inscription; and other like stones in the neighbourhood had been shewn in Stuart's two volumes of Sculptural Stones of Scotland. The suggestion was then made that for the sake of visitors at Dunecht a sort Of guide book should be prepared, giving some simple description of the several Objects and their meaning and uses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Land That Is Desolate: An Account of a Tour in Palestine There is no harbour at Jaffa, but in its place a dis orderly reef of black, jagged rocks, running parallel with the beach. These make a rude breakwater under the lee of which small boats find a shelter. A narrow gap in the middle of this stockade of stones provides access to the open sea. It is the dash through this gap that gives the final terror to the process of landing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among the Holy Places: A Pilgrimage Through Palestine The primary aim of these chapters is to place the reader, in a measure, in the position of the traveller - to let him see the country and the people with his own eyes. At the same time, historical reminiscences are by no means excluded; nor have the results of the latest explorations been ignored. Little space is devoted to disputes on doubtful localities. The traditional Calvary, however, is defended; and the scene of the Transfiguration is probably located at last.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Palestine of the Jews: Past, Present, and Future For more than two years I have been far from books and papers, which do not find a place in a marching kit, even with the generous allowance of 50 lbs. Of baggage; and I must crave indulgence on that account for any in accuracies and mistakes. I have made no attempt to be exhaustive in the account of the Jewish settlement, and I have given only my personal experience. To my father I owe it that my pencilled notes have been prepared for publication, with the assistance of my sister and her husband, who were among the colonisers before the war. And I am indebted to the same ready help for the incorporation in the text of references to the more salient later developments, so as to bring the work more nearly up to date.
