Excerpt from Glimpses of Palestine and Egypt

The following sketch has been written for the benefit of those who have not seen the Holy Land. Many who had read the sketches that were prepared for periodicals have made the request that the account of this journey be put in permanent form. In answer to that request and for the personal pleasure of the author this book has been written.

The attempt has been made to describe simply and naturally the things that were seen during this tour. Many books have been written descriptive of Palestine, and it might seem as if there were no call for another, but the subject is so great and of such absorbing interest that there is still room for others.

There were twenty-six of us in the company who made a tour including portions of northern Africa, Palestine and Europe.
