Excerpt from Historical Geography of Bible Lands

The writer of this book is not an explorer nor even a traveler. It is not then at all necessary to state that the facts herein set down are not derived from personal observation. Many books have been consulted, of which those that have contributed most largely to this work are the following: -

The Historical Geography of the Holy Land, by Prof. George Adam Smith, History, Prophecy, and the Monuments, by Prof. J.F. McCurdy, LL.D., Sinai and Palestine, by Dean Stanley, The Holy Land, by John Kelrnan, A.M., Smiths Bible Dictionary, Hastings Bible Dictionary, Daviss A Dictionary of the Bible, A History of the Jewish People, by James Stevenson Riggs, D.D., A History of the Babylonians and Assyrians, by George Stephen Goodspeed, Ph.D., A History of the Jewish People During the Babylonian, Persian, and Greek Periods, by Charles Foster Kent, Ph.D., St. Paul the Traveler and Roman Citizen, by W.M.

He also gladly recognizes his very great obligation for valuable suggestions from Robert Murray, LL.D., Editor of the Presbyterian Witness, Halifax, N.S., Robert A. Falconer, LL.D., Litt.D., Principal of the Presbyterian College, Halifax, N.S., and John Currie, D. D., Professor of Hebrew and Oriental languages, of the same college.
