Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Observations on Various Passages of Scripture, Placing Them in a New Light and Ascertaining the Meaning of Several Not Determinable by the Methods Commonly Made Use of by the Learned, Vol. 2 of 4 Melons, which are now so common, and at the same time in the highest esteem in the East, are contemporary with grapes, with pomegranates, and with figs; one would be inclined then to imagine that they have been introduced into the Holy Land since the time Moses sent Joshua, and the other spies, from the Wilderness of Paran, to examine, and bring back an account of its productions; as writers tell us many other useful plants have been imported from other places into that country, or at least its neighbourhood. Melons, according to Sir J. Chardin, are the most excellent fruit that they have in Persia ; and he tells us the season for eating them holds four months. Dr. Shaw observed that musk and watermelons began to be gathered the latter end of June in Barbary, consequently a month or more before either pomegranates, the common kind of fig, or the grape, begin to ripen.
