About This Book

A collection of letters written during several years' residence in Palestine that combine travel narrative, archaeological reporting, and social observation. The writer describes exploration of ancient sites and ruins around Haifa, Mount Carmel, Galilee, Jerusalem, and surrounding plains, summarizes recent excavations and identifications, recounts encounters with diverse communities — Jews, Druses, Samaritans, Melchites, Circassians, and Christian pilgrims — and records local customs, religious festivals, domestic life, and progress such as rail and settlement initiatives. Interwoven are reflections on topography, historical associations, and the possibilities for future research and large‑scale excavation.

Saturday Review.—“It is difficult to estimate too highly the value of such a series as this in giving ‘English readers’ an insight, exact as far as it goes, into those olden times which are so remote and yet to many of us so close.”
