Excerpt from The Tent and the Khan: A Journey to Sinai and Palestine
Fully aware of the number of volumes which of late years have issued from the press on Palestine and the adjoining countries, I long declined to add another to the list. But being still urged by many kind, though I fear too partial, friends, to put into their hands the narrative of a journey undertaken solely for my own private instruction and better comprehension of the topography of Scripture, I have at last consented, in the hope of being thus enabled to minister to others a part of the benefit Which I obtained by a personal inspection of localities dear to every Christian heart.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed account of the author's journey through the Sinai wilderness and Palestine in 1854. It provides a detailed account of localities connected with Bible history and draws parallels between his observations and the texts of Scripture. The author was concerned that the increased availability of steamship travel would soon result in a surge of tourism and that many of the sites associated with the Bible would be altered, and his book stands as a record of these places before the arrival of mass tourism. The book will be of interest to devout Christians, as well as those with a general interest in travel and history.
