He regards himself, moreover, as peculiarly fortunate in having enjoyed the privilege of visiting Palestine at that particular season of the year, when the beauties both of the country and of the climate, were probably exhibited to the greatest advantage. It is, perhaps, the more important to call attention to this circumstance, since it may serve to explain why his representations of the Holy Land, are more favorable than those drawn by the generality of travellers.
