The Rediscovery of the Holy Land in the Nineteenth Century tells the story of the exploration of the Holy Land and creates the basis for a further study of the historical geography of Israel in modern times.

This is a fascinating chapter in the long history of the country. The Land of the Bible had been terra incognita from a scientific study of the country were firmly laid down.
