Scripture Lands: Described in a Series of Historical, Geographical, and Topographical Sketches - Couverture souple
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.
