To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Several flights of steps, above ten feet dee]), lead down into tliis also. It is twenty feet broad, and twenty-five feet long. Not far from it is the well of Nehemiah (now called Bir Ajub) which is above one liundred and thirty feet deep. It was j)ro- bably imagined that by digging so deep they would reach a spring, but this has proved to be a mistake. A greater cjuantity of water is thus collected, but that does not hinder its being nearly ex- hausted when the season is very dry, though it som...etimes over- flows in very rainy winters. What Volney says of two principal climates in Syria, is less ap- plicable to Palestine, because the mountains are not so' high. Yet the vicinity of Lebanon has considerable influence, and if the tem])erature of the siunmer is nearly the same on the sea coast antl cm the mountains, tliat of the winter is diflerent. It is colder in the mountains, piercing winds and rain are more frequent, and snow sometimes falls. In 1820 it lay in Galilee only four hours.
