1909. The object of this volume is to present in a convenient form the results of research and exploration concerning the history and buildings of the city of Jerusalem-results which have accumulated during the last half-century, but which are scattered in many expensive works not easily accessible for the general reader. The story of forty centuries is carried down to the present year, and reliance is chiefly placed on monumental information. Contents: Before David; The Hebrew Kings; Ezra and Nehemiah; The Greek Age; Herod the Great; The Gospel Sites; The Fall of Jerusalem; The Roman City; The Byzantines; The Arabs; The Turks; The Latin Kingdom; and Franks and Moslems.
