This little work is intended to give a resume of the story of Jerusalem from the earliest times to the present day, and to record briefly the vicissitudes through which the city has passed, the sieges from which it has suffered, the many changes of its rulers, and the manner in which it has always revived, no matter how complete has been its desolation. Although it was in truth a Mediaeval Town of great importance, it would not be possible to explain the position it occupied in Mediaeval times without going much further back in its history, and explaining how it reached that position ;and why, for so many centuries, it was the battleground of East and West. It is a Sacred City for three of the most important religions of the world, the Jewish, the Christian, and the Moslem; for the two first the Holy City, and, for the third, second only to Mecca and Medina. Probably for this reason more than any other, Jerusalem has maintained its continued existence; and, for this reason it can never die so long as mankind continues to have any religious belief at all.
