Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies in Galilee
The foreign student. Who visits a country for research alone, gains, it is true, much advantage from the concentration of his attention upon the particular lines of history or of physical science in which he is already expert. But his impressions of the life of nature or of man cannot be so numerous nor always so just as those received by the cultured resident and servant to the needs of the people. To the latter things happen, lights break, and materials and powers of judg ment are given which are not possible to the more or less rapid traveler, with limited time, a fixed itinerary, and few opportunities of repeating and crossing his routes. In the case even of the most learned and judicious of travelers errors of fact and defects in proportion are inevit able. A resident in the country has the means of correcting these errors and of providing a more just perspective of the whole land.
