In 1838 he explored Palestine with Eli Smith (1801–57), a Yale graduate and Protestant missionary, and co-author of Missionary Researches in Armenia (also reissued in this series). Smith had settled in Beirut and was proficient in Arabic. The authors succeeded in identifying many biblical locations, and the original edition of their book, structured as a travel journal, was published in 1841. It was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society the following year. Robinson and Smith returned to Palestine in 1852 and published an enlarged edition in 1856. This reissue is of the 1857 third edition, which was slightly abridged but contained new maps and plans. Volume 1 includes lively accounts of Cairo, Suez, Mount Sinai and Jerusalem, accompanied by historical background and topographical details.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 37mmItem Weight: 820gAuthor: Edward Robinson, Eli SmithGenre: HistoryBook Series: Cambridge Library Collection - ArchaeologyRelease Year: 2015 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
