Excerpt from Sacred Sites of the Gospels: With Illustrations, Maps and Plans This little book has two excuses, which may perhaps amount to reasons, for its existence. I do not count as either of them the fact that I paid a brief visit to Palestine in the spring of last year However great the value of this to myself personally, I could not for a moment think of it as conferring a title to instruct others or to speak with any real authority. I soon came to the conclusion that the close examination of details must be left to experts. The two or three weeks of an ordinary traveller's stay are not sufficient to give him more than a broad general View of the conditions. Of the two reasons to which I have referred the first was purely personal. I have undertaken to write, or attempt to write, a Life of our Lord and I was anxious to lighten this of a certain amount of topographical matter that would otherwise have to find a place in it. In so doing, I shall also hope to have the benefit of criticism which may be utilized later. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
