Excerpt from Jerusalem, the City of Herod and SaladinThere is nothing sacred about the actors in this long story we have to tell, and we have not thought it necessary to endeavour to invest them, as is generally done by those who write on Jerusalem, with an appear ance of sanctity because they fought for the City of Sacred Memories, or because they bore the Cross upon their shoulders. We have, on the other hand, endea vowed to show them as they were - men and women actuated by mixed motives, sometimes base, sometimes noble, sometimes interested, sometimes pure and lofty, but always men and women, never saints. The Chris tians in the East were as the' Christians in the West, certainly never better, more often worse. If we have succeeded in making a plain tale, divested of its customary pseudo-religious trappings, interesting and useful, our design is accomplished.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
