Excerpt from Oriental Customs, Vol. 1: Or an Illustration of the Sacred Scriptures, by an Explanatory Application of the Customs and Manners of the Eastern Nations, and Especially the Jews, Therein Alluded To, Collected From the Most Celebrated Travellers and the Most Eminent Critics By a permission which demands my warmest gratitude, I now present to Your Lordship, a performance in which I have brought together the fruits of the learning and inquiries of many eminent men. Scattered as were these efforts of literary industry, many of them eluded the notice of readers in general, but collected and arranged as they now appear, a regular commentary is formed on a number of Texts which have commonly been considered inexplicable, or at least to admit of a very doubtful interpretation. Theology is intimately allied to the study of Eastern Antiquities. That which gives credibility to any part of Scripture corroborates the general system of revealed Truth.
