Excerpt from Memoir to Accompany the Map of the Holy Land I_ had neglected to provide myself with Aneroid - barometers. Which I afterwards much regretted; for although there are long lists of altitudes taken by different travellers yet these measurements present such wide discrepancies that we should have felt glad for a comparison with observations of our own, in order to be more able to appreciate their respective value. Too many books are, when travelling anywhere, but especially in Palestine, a burthen. Ritter's Erdkunde, vol. XV XVI (vol. XVII had not appeared at that time) and Robinson's Biblical Researches I thought, however, indispensable and so they were packed in my porte manteaus with two or three other books on Palestine of secondary rank.

Through a detailed study of the work of three of the leading figures of the era - Augustus Petermann, Physical Geographer Royal to Queen Victoria; cartographer Charles Meredith van de Velde, who produced the finest map of the region at the time; and Edward Robinson, founder of modern Palestinology - the authors explore the complex cultural, cartographic and technical processes that shaped and determined the resulting maps of the region. Making full use of newly discovered archival material, and richly illustrated in both colour and black and white, Mapping the Holy Land is essential reading for cartographers, historical geographers, historians of mapmaking, and for all those with an interest in the Holy Land and the history of Palestine.
