The previous volumes of this collection covered Southern Palestine, Jerusalem, Central Palestine, and Phoenicia—mainly devoted to the Promised Land west of the Jordan. The present volume—the third and last—relates to the Lebanon, Coelesyria, Anti-Lebanon, Damascus, Bashan, Gilead, and the regions “beyond Jordan eastward.” Though not originally included in the Land of Promise, those adjacent districts were closely connected with it. Some of them were the first that were occupied by the patriarchs of old, others were the first taken possession of by the Hebrew nation, and all of them were most intimately associated with the children of Israel in their social, civil, and religious institutions and in their secular history. In traversing those regions, therefore, we are still in the land of the Bible, and drawing our biblical illustrations from the manners and customs, the scenes and scenery of the Holy Land.
