Ritter's Erdkunde, vol. XV XVI (vol. XVII had not appeared at that time) and Robinson's Biblical Researches I thought, however, indispensable and so they were packed in my porte manteaus with two or three other books on Palestine of secondary rank.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
