Palestine: Its Holy Sites and Sacred Story. Amply Illustrated with Maps and more than 300 Wood Engravings, executed by Eminent Artists.
The design of the work is to provide a Consecutive History of Palestine, from the time of Abram to that of the final Destruction of Jerusalem under Titus. It also furnishes, in immediate association with the events recorded, a Topographical Description of the Land.
“Palestine” furnishes a contemporaneous view of the two kingdoms—Israel and Judah; and supplies a Connected Narrative to fill up the interval which occurs between the days of Ezra and those of Herod: it also continues the history beyond the accounts found in the Acts of the Apostles till those dreadful days came when Jerusalem, after a siege more remarkable for its horrors than any other on record, was downtrodden of her enemies, and her beautiful house consumed by fire.
