Land Tenure In Palestine Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Palestine or the Holy Land: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time The history of Palestine, prior to the Fall of J 0: rusalem, rests upon the authority of the inspired writers, or of those annalists, such as Josephus and Tacitus, who flourished at the period of the events vwhich they describe. The narrative, which brings down the fortunes of that remarkable coun try to the present day, is much more various both in its subject and references more especially where it embraces the exploits of the Crusaders, those renowned devotees of religion, romance, and chiv alry. The reader will find in a narrow compass the substance of the extensive works of Fuller, Wilken, Michaud, and Mills. In the more modern part of this historical outline, in which the affairs of Palestine are intimately connected with those of Egypt, it was thought unnecessary to repeat facts mentioned at some length in the volume already published on the latter country.'
