Excerpt from Plants of the Holy Land: With Their Fruits and Flowers, Beautifully This work was suggested to the author during the preparation of his larger work, entitled "Palestine, Past and Present," and although flowers of Syria are noticed and illustrated therein, they are not specially associated with scriptural allusions, nor so particularly treated upon. The object of the present volume is to identify scriptural plants with the existing plants of Syria, or with those mentioned and described in the writings of early Greek and Latin physicians, botanists, and naturalists, together with such historical and botanical notices as may be of special interest. A list has been added of some of the plants and flowers frequently found at the present time in the Holy Land. While the author has presented in many places the results of his own historical investigations and of his personal examinations of native plants in the country itself, he has freely availed himself of all the information to be obtained from many reliable sources. Several of the illustrations are directly from natural specimens, and all are from high authorities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
