__|a  Photograph is in a book with a description beneath ; printed description: "(Proverbs, xviii.)--David conquered and garrisoned the city of Damascus during his reign, and during a part of the reign of Solomon Damascus was under the dominion of Israel. The Proverbs of Solomon were written about one thousand years before Christ. We place this picture to illustrate the eighteenth chapter of Proverbs, because in some degree Damascus is connected with the beginning of the reign of Solomon in Israel. Damascus occupies the most beautiful site in Western Asia. It lies at the eastern pass of Anti-Libanus in a vast plain of great fertility, watered by the Abana and Pharpar rivers. In the center of this plain, which without the rivers would be an arid desert, in the midst of dense masses of foliage, there glisten the minarets from the mosques of Damascus. Seen at a distance it looks like a dream, a vision starting up from the desert."
