Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Achievements of Edward Henry Palmer: Late Lord Almoner´s Professor of Arabic in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Saint John´s College My own acquaintance with Edward Palmer began in the year 1868 or 1869, when he first went out to the Desert and Peninsula of Sinai, as a member of Captain Wilson´s Surveying Expedition. After his return we worked a good deal together on various subjects, chiefly connected with the Holy Land; and quite naturally, because everybody who worked with Palmer became his friend, our acquaintance ripened into a friendship, which has been to me one of the greatest joys of my life. There are many older friends of his who would, perhaps, have done fuller justice to the man, and produced a better record. The lot, however, fell upon me to write this book. I had to write the history of a life which in many respects was unique. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
