    Description

    Colour Plates, First Edition, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon

    The uncommon first edition of this wonderful work by George Smith, published in 1894.

    A fascinating account of the history and geography of the Holy Land, particularly in relation to the history of Israel and of the early Church. 

    A thorough work with insights overlooking first the land as a whole and then Western and Eastern Palestine in particular. 

    With some fascinating appendices to the rear, looking at some geographical passages and terms of the Old Testament, Stade's theory of Israel's Invasion of Western Palestine, the wars against Sihon and OG, and more. 

    Illustrated with six maps, four folding and coloured, lacking the general map of Palestine, with the map of the Semitic World wrongly bound in as frontispiece. internally the volume is in excellent condition.

    In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally sound with some shelf wear and a slight bumping to the head and tail of the spine, which is slightly chipped to the head, and with a previous tape repairing to the tail of the front joint. The cloth to the spine is slightly faded. With some minor marks to the front and rear boards. Inscribed by a previous owner to the recto of the front blank page. The hinges to the front board and minimally to the rear are slightly loose, otherwise the binding is firm throughout. The pages are bright and clean.
