A Cruise to the Orient: The World's Greatest Centers of Interest (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from A Cruise to the Orient: The World's Greatest Centers of Interest

The present volume is a kind of sequel to the mighty con fliet which so lately has been engaging our attention. Pre paratory to a consideration of great world cities may seem appropriate an introductory survey of the world war, which likewise to a greater or less extent has been incorporated into the Six chapters that follow, and especially into the two culminating chapters on Constantinople and Jerusalem. The whole book contains not a little of classical, of archaeological, and of Biblical lore popularized, and scholars and others will find it acceptable for reference purposes, with the index to help. It is designed to stimulate to the mobilization not of troops but of travellers for a peaceful penetration of the Near East under the new conditions.
