A VIE;w of picturesque ALEPPO AND ITS FAMOUS GARDENS 



"Aleppp, now a prosperous city of over 200,000 population, is famous as the capital of 

 Salah-ed-din (the Saladin of Crusader history), whose mighty fortress stands to this day. 

 From that point the Saracen monarch directed his conquests of northern Syria, and marched 

 southward to do battle with Richard Coeur-de-Lion" (see text, page 599).
