Opis

Excerpt from A Winter Pilgrimage: Being an Account of Travels Through Palestine, Italy, and the Island of Cyprus, Accomplished in the Year 1900 I will confess that I have a fancy to be numbered among their honourable company. So it may chance - this is my hope - that when another thousand years or more have gone by advancing the Holy Land thus far upon its appointed future, and the Moslem has ceased to occupy the sacred places, my name may appear with their names. Thus perhaps I also may be accounted a link in the chain of those who dedicated some of their uncertain days to visiting and describing that grey stretch of moun tain land which is the cradle of man's hope in the dark ness that draws near to every one of us. My second reason is that I Should like to say something about that neglected British possession, the fair island of Cyprus. Today a Cinderella among our colonies, with a little more care and capital she might again become what She was of old, the Garden of the Mediterranean, a land of corn and wine, and in fact, as well as figuratively, a mine of wealth. Of Cyprus but few have written; travellers rarely think it worth the while to visit there, so in this particular at the least I trust that I may not be blamed.
