DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Pictorial Journey Through the Holy Land, or Scenes in Palestine It is from Edoln's rock-hewn capital that the frontier of J udea is approached. A deep mountain basin is strewed with Petra's ruins, is hemmed around by a perpendicular wall of cliffs, whose precipices are sculptured for the facades and excavated for the chambers, which served the indwellers of this nest in the rock for habitations during life, for temples in which to worship, and for tombs where all that was mortal of them at last was laid. The descent north wards is through a series of ravines that often are mere rifts in the mountain channels by which the waters of winter's storms rush down to the plain. One great valley, beginning almost as far north as Mount Hermon, runs from north to south through Southern Syria, and continues its course still further to the southward. Its upper portion is the valley of the Jordan, commonly called by Arabs El Ghor. By most of the Arabian geographers this name is applied to the valley of the Jordan exclusively; but one of them, Abulfelda, says that the Ghor extends continuously to the Red Sea from the Lake of Tiberias. The ancient geographers are silent as to the prolongation of the great valley from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea. The central portion of the valley is occupied by the Dead Sea in its greatest length, and by a small tract at its southern extremity, which is the Valley of Salt of the Scriptures, reaching up to some declivities that are probably those called in the Bible the ascent of Akrabbim. From these cliffs the great plain to which the name El Arabah is given by the Arabs, and which was wholly unknown to the last generation of travellers, commences, and continues uninterruptedly to tlie site of ancient Elath, at the head of the Gulf of Akabah on the Red Sea.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Peasant Life in the Holy Land During the last forty or fifty years a flood of light has been thrown on the ancient history of Egypt, Babylonia, Syria, and the other lands so intimately associated with Palestine, as well as on that of the Holy Land itself, thereby illustrating and confirming the Scripture narrative. Towns and cities buried for thousands of years have been compelled to yield up their secrets to the spade of the explorer; the story of forgotten tribes and nations has been discovered: ancient languages have been re-learnt, and their records and literature, personal correspondence and private accounts, have been made accessible to the ordinary reader. In another field of research, that of the manners and customs, language and folk-lore, of these Eastern lands, much has also been accomplished, but in both much yet remains to be done.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Holy Land has captures the attention of mankind since the very beginning of human civilization, and even more so from the early days of Christianity. Nineteenth-century Palestine fired the imagination of the Western world. Improved travel facilities and greater political stability in the Near Easst brought ever-increasing numbers of visitors to the Holy Land, affecting the quantity and quality of the pictorial depictions of its sites and scenes. Like other countries in the exotic Muslim East, Palestine also became a point of focal interest for painters of the Orientalist school. The author has assembled a fascinating collection of unique works of art, executed in the diverse styles of nineteenth-century painting. Around these reproductions, many of them in colour, he reconstructs the story of the artists who produced them, who came from many European countries and from North America. The result is an important and unique perspective on the sites, persons, events and customs of the Holy Land in that century.
