Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.

Original Narrative: It was about nine o'clock when we crossed a stone bridge where we mounted to enter Acre. The approach to this city is rendered interesting by the appearance of gardens and cultivated land without, and by the full foliage of innumerable trees rearing their heads within the walls. The city itself stands at the extremity of a plain on the sea-shore, insomuch that we were obliged to descend on approaching its south-eastern gate of entrance. The view of the city from hence presents the appearance of large and substantial buildings, but has nothing of splendour: as, besides the flat-roofed houses, and the mere points of some low minarehs, there are only the spire and two domes of one mosque visible from any distance. This tall and slender column has neither the lightness nor the gay ornament which characterize some of the minarehs of Egypt, and particularly those of Menzaleh on the eastern lakes, but resembles more the style of those used in Smyrna; namely, a plain tapered shaft, with a gallery scarcely distinguishable from the rest, crowned by a blue conical summit.
