Excerpt from The Bible and Modern Discoveries: With Map and Illustrations During the whole of my long occupation of the Secretary's chair in the office of the Palestine Exploration Fund, it was a continual cause of trouble and reproach to us that we had produced no book connecting in a popular and vivid manner the work which had been done by the Society with the Bible narrative. Sir Charles Warren's 'Recovery of Jerusalem, ' for instance, admirable as a record of discovery, could not pretend to afford the material for a complete reconstruction of the Herodian city, a thing which must still be postponed until further research has yielded the exact course of the walls, the exact lie of the rock, and the site of the Royal Sepulchres and that of the Temple.
