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.

Excerpt from Jerusalem, Vol. 1 of 2: The Topography, Economics and History From the Earliest Times to A. D. 70 In the Historical Geography of the Holy Land it was not possible, for reasons of space, to include a topography of Jerusalem, an appreciation of her material resources, or a full study of the historical significance of her site and surroundings. The present volumes are an attempt to deal with these subjects, and to give in addition a history of the City's politics, literature and religion. In order to prepare the reader for the long and often intricate discussions of so vast a subject, extending over more than fourteen centuries, I have thought it well to present first of all a picture of the essential Jerusalem. This will be found in the Introduction. Book I. comprises the Topography of the City and the various questions, which this raises, of position and nomenclature, along with some account of the Climate, a chapter on the Geology and another on Earthquakes.

Excerpt from Jerusalem, Vol. 2 of 2: The Topography, Economics and History From the Earliest Times to A. D. 70 This volume contains Book III. of the present work - the History of Jerusalem, with such portions of the topography as are proper to particular periods. The size to which the volume has grown has rendered necessary the omission of a detailed history of the City through the Roman period and of a separate chapter on the siege by Titus. But in the last two chapters of Book IL a summary has already been given of the principal political events under the Romans and during the War of Independence, thus bringing the history down to 70 A.D. I regret that the first proof of Chapter xiv. on the Rest of the Persian Period was corrected before Dr. Sachau's publication of the three papyri from Elephantine, and that in consequence I was unable to make any but the briefest allusion to these very important documents. They confirm the chronology adopted in Chapter xiii., that Nehemiah lived under the first Artaxerxes. But it has been impossible to discuss their bearing on the critical questions of the age of the Pentateuch. With regard to these I need state only one remarkable result of the discovery of the papyri. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
