Excerpt from The Land of Israel: A Text Book on the Physical, and Historical Geography of the Holy Land Embodying the Results of Recent Research
The demand for a new edition of this work has given opportunity to make some typographical corrections, and to add a brief summary of the results of the excavations, under the direction of Dr. Bliss, during the summer of 1899. A photographic view of an interesting section of the excavations at Tell es Safi, reproduced by permission from the October Quarterly of the Palestine Exploration Fund, has been added to the list of illustrations. The folded boundary maps, drawn by Kiepert, have been replaced by two carefully prepared maps in more convenient form, which harmonize at all points with the descriptions of the text.
An additional map in colors gives the physical features of the Land as a whole: the relative heights and depressions being indicated by different shades of color.
