rtue of the agreement made on this occasion by me, and returned without molestation from these people. {332} This I repeat after having travelled at different times on most parts, north, west, and south of the lake, and read all that has been printed about the eastern side. (1867.) {339} Since writing the above, we learn from Lieutenant Warren's very interesting letters that the Turkish Government have sent a large force into the trans-Jordanic region, with a view of chastising the Arabs: it remains to be seen whether this measure will leave any permanent effects.--(_Nov._ 1867.) {405} Especially in a book probably little known, but published as "Memoirs of a Babylonian Princess. By (herself) Marie Therese Asmar," who was in London in 1845, and supported for a time by fashionable patronesses of romantic Orientalism. {408} The events of 1860-61 led to a tragical termination of the career of this young chieftain. {419} Mr Tristram has since done this, but on foot, the rugged road being impassable in any other way. {432} Bait Zacari and Zecariah lie far away among the mountains in the south-west. Neither of them would command the road which Judas desired to intercept--neither of them therefore answers to the Bath Zacharias of the history any more than Baitzur near Hebron does to Bethsura--all are equally out of the question by reason of their distance. {440} Very common in Oriental Christendom, and called by the Greeks the [Greek text] (semantron.) The ancient Britons used to summon the congregation to church service by means of "sacra ligna," is it not likely that these were the same as the above, seeing that the Celtic nations were derived from the East? ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK BYEWAYS IN PALESTINE*** ******* This file should be named 22097.txt or 22097.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/2/0/9/22097 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
