Containing a Concise Description of the Wonderful Ruins of the Substructions of King Solomon’s Temple, and of the Ancient and Remarkable Cities Built by the Ancient Builders, Including Tadmor, Baalbek, Babylon, Nineveh, and Damascus. “Withina few years past, extensive explorations have been carried onthroughout the East, which have resulted in remarkable discoveries innearly all of the ancient and renowned cities known to sacred history.Among the most important of these discoveries are those made in Jerusalem, in the excavations around and under the Temple site- among the ruins of King Solomon’s store cities Baalbek, Tadmor, and Hamath- at Babylon, Nineveh,and Shushan. These discoveries have awakened an interest that will notbe satisfied with anything less than a description of the ruins of allthe important cities of the East. In the ordinary works of Easterntravelers and writers, so much space is given to incidents of travel,and the speculations of travelers, that but little room is left for adescription of antiquities or relics. The aim of this work is tocomprise in a convenient compass the results of all the importantexplorations and excavations made in the East;- especially among theruins of King Solomon’s cities. To this end, this work has been madestrictly descriptive and historical; yet containing only enough ofhistory to render the subject intelligible. By this plan a descriptionof the ruins, as now seen, of forty of the most famous cities ofantiquity is given in the space of this volume” ~ M.
