Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of the United States' Expedition to the River Jordan and the Dead Sea IN the Preface to the large and illustrated edition of this work, it is stated that The object of the Expedition, the narrative of which is here presented, was unknown to the pub lic, until a very short time prior to its departure from the United \states, when the indications were such as to induce me to ap prehend that it was not appreciated. Nevertheless, I had an abiding faith in the ultimate issue, which cheered me on; for I felt that a liberal and enlightened community would not long condemn an attempt to explore a distant river, and its wondrous reservoir, - the first, teeming with sacred associations, and the last, enveloped in a mystery, which had defied all previous attempts to penetrate it.
