Excerpt from An Account of Palmyra and Zenobia: With Travels and Adventures in Bashan and the Desert The explorations and events recorded were incidents of a residence in Syria during nine stirring years, and corn panions in the dangers and enjoyments are still with us. The work - some chapters of which have already appeared - has been edited in the fresh light of new inscriptions and fuller investigations, and aims at giving a picture, in outline only, of the living past and the living present under con: sideration. The East moves slowly, and few changes in light or shadow call for alteration in tone or setting con sequent on delay in publication. I am indebted to Dr. Mackinnon of Damascus, and Dr. Macphail of Edinburgh, for the use of recently taken photographs in Bashan; and I am under special obligations to the publishers for the creditable manner in which they have produced the Book on both sides of the Atlantic.
