A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A mong the various accounts of the Lands of Scripture which exist among us, the one now furnished derives its most distinctive character from the Atlas of Biblical maps with which it is connected. On being invited to furnish a Memoir to accompany this A tlas, it appeared to the writer, that while it was essential that the primary object of supplying a text to the maps should be kept distinctly in mind, it might be possible to impart some independent interest to the letter-press by taking a somewhat more comprehensive although still, of necessity, cursory---view of the whole subject than the mere topographical description of the maps might require. While, therefore, the range of subjects, and in a great degree, the mode of treatment, has been dictated by the presence of the maps, and by this special designation of the letter-press, the matter has been so arranged, that while it is hoped that nothing has1 been omitted which can be judged necessary to this association with the maps, much has been included which that connexion did not absolutely require, but which appeared desirable to complete the plan on which the text is founded. A large proportion of the A tlas, as well as of the text, is occupied with the territories and towns of the twelve tribes.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
