Excerpt from Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Recollections, Sketches, and Reflections Made During a Tour in the East
If the reader desires to find in these volumes aught beyond the fugitive impressions of a passenger who proceeds to his object without pausing, he had better close them. For a painter alone these notes may contain a de gree of interest; some of them are exclusively picturesque they are the written glance, the coup d’azil of a lover of nature, seated on his camel, or on the deck of his vessel, and who, with a few colorless strokes of his pencil upon the pages of his journal, sketches the landscapes as they fly before him, that he may retain some remembrance of them for the morrow.
