Excerpt from Sinai and Palestine, in Connection With Their History
What is personal in this book may be briefly told. In the winter of 1852, and in the spring of 1853, in the company of the three friends, to whose kindness I shall always feel grateful for having enabled me to fulfil this long-cherished design, I visited the well-known scenes of Sacred History in Egypt, Arabia, and Syria. Any detailed description of this journey has been long since rendered superfluous by the ample illustrations of innumerable travellers. But its interest and instruction are so manifold, that, even after all which has been seen and said of it, there still remain points of view unexhausted.
Much has been written, and still remains to be written, both on the History and the Geography of the Chosen People. But there have been comparatively few attempts to illustrate the relation in which each stands to the other.
