Book Description
Excerpt from Syria, the Holy Land, Asia Minor, &C: Illustrated, in a Series of Views Drawn From Nature Mad people continue even at the present time to be sent from the surrounding country, to be cured at St. Antonio: it is much more likely to drive sane people mad than to cure lunatics. The descent into this gloomy vale, as you pass hence, is so sad, the cliffs on each side so grim, that you think you are taking leave of the gay and blessed things of nature, of the sweet grove, of the sun-lit shore, of the shepherd and his pastures, of the beautiful sea and its wild waves. The convent is so overhung by the heights, as to- receive slenderly the beams of the sun: in the plate, which is taken at noon, a flood of light is thrown too lavishly on the roof and walls: noon is the only hour in which this could happen: during the greater part of the day they are cold and sunless. Each point, each nook or ledge of rock around, is covered with crosses which do not appear in the plate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Syria, the Holy Land, Asia Minor, Etc Most of the places illustrated in this Work had been visited by the writer, previous to the Egyptian invasion, when the land was in a state of comparative quiet, very favourable to a successful progress. To the Oriental traveller, the pleasures of memory are greater than those of hope: on his devious way, clouds and darkness often gather: the feuds of the chiefs may suddenly forbid all approach to the favourite ruin or city, imprison him in some hamlet or desert, where he is alone with his baffled hope and despair. Perhaps disease or contagion overtake him, where there is none to help. But when his warfare is over, and his objects attained, when his own hearth and roof-tree receive him - then memory wakes, to sleep no more. In the murmur of his native wave he fancies he hears the distant rush of the Nile or Euphrates: in the night wind the blast of the desert again passes by: and on the bleak moor that Rock of ages, that has been his shadow from the heat, again stands before him, desolate yet precious. These feelings may by some be deemed enthusiastic: but no man ever succeeded in an Eastern journey, plucked its roses from its many thorns, and, in spite of fears and sorrows, went on rejoicing in his way - who was not an enthusiast.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Art in Sardinia, Judaea, Syria, and Asia Minor, Vol. 1 of 2 The names of MM. Perrot and Chipiez are so universally known, the former for his all-embracing archaeological knowledge and infinite capacity in taking pains, the latter as an eminent architect, that the announcement of a joint production of theirs cannot fail to excite the curiosity of the public, taught by experience to look for good solid work at their hands. I venture to predict that the hopes thus raised will be more than satisfied, both in point of interest and in the wide range of the subject-matter contained in the present work, which maintains in full the high level of the preceding volumes.

Book Description
Excerpt from Damascus and Palmyra, Vol. 1 of 2: A Journey to the East; With a Sketch of the State and Prospects of Syria, Under Ibrahim Pasha It was the author's fortune to visit Damascus with a large party of his countrymen, to occupy for some weeks one of the handsomest villas in the environs, and to meet with many novel events and circum stances, which may prove, perhaps, not unamusing to the English reader. Through the kindness of the British Consul Gene ral, and by means of his in uence with a tribe of Bedouin Arabs who pasture their ocks in the desert bordering Damascus, he was enabled, with his com panions, to make the excursion from Damascus across the desert to Palmyra.

Book Description
Excerpt from Observations in the East, Vol. 1 of 2: Chiefly in Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Asia Minor In regard to topography, the only new view that I offer in these pages is that of the Exode of Israel from Egypt, for which I have suggested a route differing, in part at least, from any other that I have seen. The reader must judge of the value of the suggestion. My principal guide-book in the Holy Land, besides the Bible, was the Biblical Researches of Messrs. Rob inson and Smith. Their exceeding accuracy was a matter of daily surprise to me in my travels through Palestine; and I must express a deep sense of obligation to such indefatigable and successful observers. I had not then seen Dr. Olin's excellent volumes, which convey a great amount of information, also remarkably accurate. His first volume contains the best account of Egypt that has appeared in this country - perhaps in the language.
