The Dead Sea Voyage and Biblical Echoes in 1838
Excerpted passages describe exploration of the Dead Sea and Jordan with biblical refences. It notes the sea’s desolation and bitter waters, then traces Israelite crossing at Jordan and Jericho’s ruins. The piece ends with a short tale “The Pedant and the Sailor” and an advertisement about David Lanky eloping with three daughters.
