Excerpt from Sacred Fountains: Or Observations Historical and Practical, on the Streams, Lakes and Fountains of the Holy Land The following sketches were written several years ago, in connection with the ordinary duties of the Pastor. They were prepared solely with a view of publication in some of the religious newspapers. Accordingly a few of these papers appeared in several journals in the Middle and Southern States. It was suggested to the author, at the time, to publish the whole series in book form. Various reasons, not necessary to name, prevented a compliance with these kind requests. In the meantime, an American publisher announced a British work, of an almost synonymous title, written fifteen months after several of these articles were made public. An examination of the book has shown that they are not at all similar, and that the author has failed to do what I desired to accomplish. Without saying aught in disparagement of Mr. Grosse's volume, it will be proper to state that his work is much more on the order of a narrative, and contains sketches of but a few of these Pools and Fountains.
