Sketch Of A Tour In Egypt And The Holy Land PDF Download

Excerpt from The East: Sketches of Travel in Egypt and the Holy Land In presenting to the public a fourth edition of his work on Egypt and the Holy Land, the Author begs leave to express his satisfaction at the success which his work has met with, and also to embrace the opportunity to give utterance to the hope that the present volume may continue to serve the good end which was had in view in its original publication. Although not a work of much pretension, the Author has no ordinary gratification in knowing that the following Letters have been found to be - what it was his especial aim to make them both - truthful and reliable, And he is clear in the conviction, moreover, that these are points of far more consequence than any brilliancy of style, piquancy of adventure, or even profundity of learned research. The interest of Christian people in the land of the Bible is, and must continue to be, unabated; for wherever the Holy Scriptures are read and freely circulated, as in our highly favored land, there will there be found to exist an ever present desire to know all that can be known of these sacred localities where our Lord and Saviour, in the days of his flesh, tabernacled among men.
