With introductory chapters on the geography and natural history of the country, and on the customs and institutions of the Hebrews. This work was originally undertaken with the view of supplying what has been felt as a desideratum in schools, a history of Palestine with accounts of the geography of the country and of the customs and institutions of its ancient inhabitants. The volume may be considered a valuable acquisition by readers of a more advanced class, on account of the information it contains, and the connected and compendious form in which it presents the history of the Hebrew nation from the time of Abraham, through various political forms which it assumed till the dispersion of that peculiar people. Illustrated.
