Excerpt from Domestic Life in PalestineThe pleasure which my Notes and Journal afforded to members of my home-circle, on my return to Eu gland, led me to think that, possibly, my countrymen would like to gain a further insight into the mysteries of Eastern life. Hence it was that I resolved to pub lish this volume. In compiling it I have avoided, as much as possible, those subjects with which the pub lic are already familiar. Descriptions of well-known places are only given when they are necessary to form an introduction or background to those scenes of real life which I have attempted to portray.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
