Excerpt from The Holy Land: Being Sketches of the Jews, and of the Land of PalestineThe object of these pages is to present the reader with a general view of Jewish history, manners, and customs, and also of the aspect and productions of Palestine. The history of the peculiar people forms a deeply interesting subject of contemplation, but all that can be done in the present work is to give a brief view of its leading features. The chapters on the Jewish war, and the subsequent history both of the Holy Land, and its banished people, with those on the Ancient and Modern Jews, have been carefully con densed from a variety of authorities. The topogra phical portions have also been drawn from numerous ancient and recent travels, as well as the natural his tory, every detail respecting this wonderful country being well worthy the attention of Christian readers, as bearing on the illustration of Scripture, and the providence and dealings of the Almighty.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
