Preface

Any prefatory observations are here unnecessary,
as these have been embodied in the introductory
chapter.

The volume is intended to be uniform in design
and purport with the “Memories op Gennesaret,”
and the “Memories of Bethany.” Scenes connected with Mount Olivet, of undying interest
to every Christian, have been, as in the case of
the two former, grouped together.

The frontispiece engraving is a careful attempt,
under the guidance of reliable authorities, to reproduce the Mount of Olives as it was in the time
of our Lord, and which may prove in some degree
helpful in the perusal of the succeeding pages.

It is hoped that the contents of the opening chapter will not be considered incongruous with those which follow. It seemed desirable to conduct the Reader through this outer portico, before entering Olivet’s inner Sanctuary of holier thought.
