Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Footsteps of St. Paul
The name of the river is the Cydnus, and of the province Cilicia. You may try to form a picture of the animated scenes on its banks at the time of which I am going to write. Women coming down to fetch water, with veils over their faces, and pitchers on their heads; shepherds playing on their reeds, with their flocks of goats and sheep browsing around them. Now and then, bands or caravans of merchants from distant parts, with camels bearing spices and wools, are glad to pause at mid-day, under the shade of the palm-trees which cast their beautiful reflection in the stream, and there to get refreshment ere they pursue their journey.
