Description:Excerpt from Archaeological Researches in Palestine, During the Years 1973-1874, Vol. 1: With Numerous Illustrations From Drawings Made on the Spot The second volume of the present work was published in advance three years ago. I need not return to the reasons which have necessitated this inversion of the natural order of publication. In any case, the disadvantages of this course have been to a certain degree minimised by the fact that these two volumes may be looked upon, strictly speaking, as forming two independent wholes. The first volume, which is now presented to the reader, is in fact entirely devoted to Jerusalem and its immediate environs, within a radius which, towards the end, is somewhat enlarged and forms a natural transition to the second volume, which included extended excursions in Palestine. I must apologise for the long delay which, in spite of my exertions, has intervened between the appearance of these two volumes; and still more for the considerable period of time - a quarter of a century - which will have elapsed between the conduct of these researches and the definitive publication of their results. The work will certainly suffer thereby from more than one point of view; many recollections have faded from my memory, upon which I had the imprudence to depend; many of the too brief notes have lost, on reperusal, even for me the meaning which I should have attached to them at the moment. On the other hand, it will perhaps have gained in matureness, since the studies to which I have devoted myself in the interval have sometimes enabled me to go more deeply than I should have done at first into certain questions raised by these researches. I will briefly recall the conditions under which they were undertaken. In 1873, the Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund did me the honour to propose to me an archaeological mission in Palestine, the expenses to be defrayed by them.
