Excerpt from The Holy Land, Vol. 1 of 2 These studies of the Scenery and Politics of the Sacred Story were made in the Holy Land - in the tent, the saddle, and the wayside khan - and were sent home from Palestine, not as chapters of a book, but as Notes for a few fireside friends. In offering them to the public, I renounce the dream of instructing scholars in their craft, avoid dogma as beyond the province of a lay writer, and leave controversy for the most part to critics. My aim is to afford the untravelled reader a little help in figuring to himself the country and the events which occupy so many of his thoughts. In reading my camp Bible (with the help of Philo and Josephus), on the spots which it describes so well, I was surprised to find how much good history lies overlooked in that vast treasury of truth. My book is a picture of what I then saw and read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
