Excerpt from A Wandering Scholar in the Levant
Certain of my readers have complained that I leave them too much in the dark as to dates and distances. My plea must be that the itineraries and results of most of the journeys, on which this little book is based, have been published already in one scientific journal or another. Some of those wanderings are not very recent, all have led me over ground very similar; and to have recounted them step by step must have led to much iteration, and made me exemplify that admirable maxim l'art d'ennuyer c' est tout dire.
