Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Travels in Palestine Through the Countries of Bashan and Gilead, East of the River Jordan, Vol. 2 of 2
Our excursions around the city being now closed, as well as our Visits to the principal places within its walls, I sat down to take a retrospective View of the chief particulars which we had noted in detail, and to unite them into a more general picture.
Jerusalem is seated on unequal ground, on a range of high hills, some few eminences of which are even higher than those on which the city itself stands, and in the midst of a rocky and barren space, which almost defies the efforts of human labour to fertilize by any common process.
