Book excerpt: Excerpt from Later Biblical Researches in Palestine: And in the Adjacent Regions, a Journal of Travels in the Year 1852 The occasion and plan of this second journey in the Holy Land are set forth in the beginning of the introductory Section. During the more important part of the journey, my companion in travel was, as before, the Rev. Eli Smith, D. D. He went with me to Jerusalem and the vicinity of Hebron; and thence northwards as far as to Hasbeiya. From Hasbeiya the Rev. W. M. Thomson accompanied me to Banias and back; and then, on the way to Damascus, until within a day's journey of that city. From Damascus, the Rev. S. Robson became my companion to Ba'albek and around the northern end of Lebanon to the cedars, and so to Beirut. That very much of the success and comfort of the journey depended on the long and familiar acquaintance possessed by my companions with the language and character of the people, I need not here repeat. Each of them kept his own separate journal of daily occurrences and observations. These were kindly left in my hands; and have been freely used in the preparation of this volume. To these friends, the public, as well as myself, are under lasting obligations. The present volume is strictly supplementary to the former Biblical Researches; and is published in connection with the new edition of that work. It is also issued separately, for the convenience of those who already possess the first edition of the Researches. The observations made during this second journey, rendered necessary a new construction of the Maps of Palestine.
