Description

Excerpt from Damascus and Its People: Sketches of Modern Life in Syria

Damascus is one of the very few ancient cities of the world that still retain anything of their former great ness. Nineveh and Babylon are buried in ruins, and Tyre is now a small fishing village; but Damascus, boasting of an antiquity of years, is still a prosperous city, with a large, industrious and lively population. It has associations with great names in the past, and a busy, stirring life in the present; it is a city of ancient art and of modern activity, peopled by men of various races and of various creeds, in them selves a study of more abiding interest than the blades,'' the damasks and the roses with which the name of Damascus is commonly connected.
