This work is designed to direct the attention of the reader to the productions of that land where the Saviour lived, and his apostles taught, and where Abraham, David, Isaiah, and Amos testified of Jehovah. Since the days of the apostles, this land has been laid waste by war, and by famine, war's frequent attendant. Jerusalem, in fulfilment of our Saviour's prediction, was destroyed by Titus; J udea was ravaged by the Romans, and long held by that people as a conquered province. After the fall of the Roman em pire, it was held by the Saracens, and became the theatre of the Crusades. It now forms part of the Turkish empire; and the debasing superstition of Mohammed prevails where Christ came to suffer anddie for the sins of the world, and thus open the kingdom of heaven to those who unfeignedly believe in his merits and sacrifice.
Great as the changes in the moral, social, and religious condition of a country may be, its general aspect and its productions (unless influenced by certain causes) continue the same. Thus, in Judea, the same animals, plants, and minerals, the same natural productions exist as in the days of king Solomon, of whom we read, that he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon, even unto the hyssop that springeth out of the wall he spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes. 1 Kings iv. 33.
The natural history of every country is interesting; but our readers will surely think that of a country where holy men of old both wrote and spoke, as inspired by the Holy Spirit, where God displayed so many miracles, and where our Saviour dwelt when he took upon himself the form of a servant, to be peculiarly attractive. Indeed the force of many allusions, the propriety and beauty of many passages, cannot be fully appreciated unless we are acquainted with the habits, instincts, or real character of the natural objects referred to. Examples in point abound in the book of Job, and many in other portions Of sacred writ will no doubt occur to the mind of the reader.
