“Jerusalem the Holy!' 
A Brief History of Ancient Jerusalem, with an Account of 
the Modern City and its Conditions, Political, Religious, 
and Social. 
By EDWIN SHERMAN WALLACE, 
Late United States Consul for Palestine. 
“A well-written and useful work.”— Scotsman. 
“The unequalled opportunities of consular residence are not often put to so 
excellent a use. Sir Harry Johnston, in his magnificent ‘ British Central Africa,’ has 
shown what can be done by a Consul or Commissioner whose heart is in his work ; 
and we very highly praise ‘Jerusalem the Holy* when we say that in most respects it 
ranks fitly with that masterly book.”— Daily Free Press. 
“Many will be thankful that it occurred to Mr. Wallace, to beguile the tedium 
of a five years’ residence in Jerusalem by writing this interesting and valuable book. 
The chief value of the book will be found in its descriptions of the city as it now exists. 
Tourists will find in this book all the information they can require, and Bible students 
will find it in every way useful and suggestive. ”— Glasgow Herald. 
“To the student this history is direct, reliable, and clear; to the lighter reader, 
whose interest would scarcely carry him through the long treatises which have hitherto 
appeared, it is graphic, instructing, and entertaining; and it is also thoroughly up 
to date.”— Dundee Courier. 
“There is no lack of books dealing with Jerusalem, but none of them has been 
written with greater fulness of knowledge than Mr. Edwin S. Wallace’s ‘Jerusalem the 
Holy.’”— Sunday School Chronicle. 
“ The author has evidently had in view all the requirements of readers who think of 
visiting the city, but his pages are equally worth reading by those who have no hope or 
intention of doing so. The historical and typographical matter is usefully supplemented 
by some chapters on climate and health, and on the various classes in the present mixed 
population of the city.”— North British Daily Mail. 
“He writes well, and will be found specially interesting by those who are as 
well acquainted, as he is with the literature of the Bible, his knowledge of which he 
uses very effectively in frequent comparisons between the Palestine of the time of the 
prophets and the evangelists and the Palestine of the present day.”— Manchester 
Guardian. 
“ He has not only laid all the chief authoritative books on the subject under con¬ 
tribution, but has also detailed the results of his own intelligent investigations. The 
book is full of most interesting matter, and has numerous fine illustrations.”— Dundee 
Advertiser. 
“Mr. Wallace has.lived for five years in Jerusalem as United States Consul. 
He is mildly interested in its history, and offers a brief and impartial account of that. 
He is deeply interested in its present state, and that he describes minutely and master¬ 
fully. Without fear he has entered the secret places of all the ecclesiastical sects, and 
laid bare the poverty of their pretensions, while appreciative of any spiritual reality 
there. He has followed Bliss in his explanations and Dickie in his measurements. And 
since every step of his narrative is accompanied by a photographic illustration, we have 
ourselves the means of testing as well as understanding his descriptions. Mr. Wallace’s 
book records an advance in the scientific study of Jerusalem. He is shrewd and pains¬ 
taking, and misses little, while he sets down nothing in offence. And though he glances 
into the future^ it is not a mixture of earth and cloud that he sees, it is a development 
along lines that are now well marked and sufficiently reliable.”— Expository Times .
