Excerpt from Poems on Various SubjectsI shall take the provinces in the order in which they occur in the poems. Of Syria it will be re membered that it was always considered by the Greeks and Romans as amongst the most fertile of their possessions, scarcely inferior to Egypt. It consists of three stripes of land of different quali ties: one of these, extending along the coast of the Mediterranean, is a warm and humid plain, of great natural fertility, the next is a mountainous and rugged region, but far more healthy, the third, which lies behind the mountains to the east, is ex posed to great heats, and of a dry quality, but in most parts is capable of being made productive by a system of irrigation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
