Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Our Saviour Jesus Christ, Vol. 1: Three Hundred and Sixty-Five Compositions From the Four Gospels, With Notes and Explanatory Drawings
This is why, attracted as I was by the divine figure of Jesus and the touching scenes re corded in the Gospels, I determined to go to Palestine on a pilgrimage of exploration, hop ing to restore to those scenes as far as possible the actual aspect assumed by them when they occurred. For this, was it not indeed absolutely necessary to study on the spot, the configuration of the landscape, and the character of the inhabitants, endeavouring to trace back from their modern representatives through successive generations, the original types of the races of Palestine, and the various constituents which go to make up what is called antiquity?
