It is of interest to note that his account of the Cave agrees fully with that of Conder. It is now quite certain that he was really there in person, and his narrative was not made up at second hand. The visit of Reubeni, as well as Sabbatai Zebi's, gave new vogue to the place.
Among the people who took up warmly the cause of the South African natives were Dr. Conder, Mr. Baines, and Mr. Campbell and Dr. Duff of Edinburgh, the Rev. Arnold Thomas and Mr. Chorlton of Bristol, Mr. Howard of Ashton-under-Lyne, Mr. Thomas Rigby of Chester, and others.
Since that was evidently quite out of the question she was resolved to go to the other extreme. "My only chance is to be a mouse!" she thought. At least she would be a graceful mouse. She gazed at the delicate figures on her Conder fan. They, those three a little way from her, were talking now, really talking. Mrs.
Conder on the Art of Landscape Gardening in Japan, and his beautiful book on the Japanese Art of Floral Decoration; and also the brief but charming chapter on Gardens, in Morse's Japanese Homes. No effort to create an impossible or purely ideal landscape is made in the Japanese garden.
Here, as in the case of Gath and elsewhere, he quotes what was the hearsay identification current at the time he visited these places. See an article by C.R. Conder on "Early Christian Topography" in the Quarterly Statements of the Palestine Exploration Fund for 1876, p.16. Cf. The Ancient Hebrew Tradition, by Prof. Fr. See Conder's Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Whether those definitely artistic cliques of the nineteenth century, the men who made form a means to aesthetic emotion and not a means of stating facts and conveying ideas, the Impressionists and the Aesthetes, Manet and Renoir, Whistler and Conder, &c. &c., are to be regarded as accidental flowers blossoming on a grave or as portents of a new age, will depend upon the temperament of him who regards them.
Here we read how Seti I. destroyed the Shasu or Amalekites from the eastern frontier of Egypt to "the land of Kana'an," and captured their fortress of the same name which Major Conder has identified with Khurbet Kan'an near Hebron. It was also the longer form which was preserved among the Israelites as well as among the Phoenicians, the original inhabitants of the sea-coast.
The loculi are 2 feet in depth. What Captain Conder speaks of as "vaults north of the church," turn out to be the tops of houses. They are four in number, each 75 feet long by 28 feet wide, and faced the street.
"I only care for music a very different thing. But still I will say this for myself I do know when I like a thing and when I don't. Some people are the same about pictures. They can go into a picture gallery Miss Conder can and say straight off what they feel, all round the wall. I never could do that. But music is so different from pictures, to my mind.
A specialist on this period, Colonel Conder of the Palestine Exploration, has written that the core of the Code was founded on the recommendations of Godfrey himself in his "Letters of the Sepulchre"; and he observes concerning it: "The basis of these laws was found in Justinian's code, and they presented features as yet quite unknown in Europe, especially in their careful provision of justice for the bourgeois and the peasant, and for the trading communes whose fleets were so necessary to the king.
