Part 2 -The Seacoast Plains-Sharon and Philistia
[The third section of the tour may now be said to commence. The district which we are now to travel is the largest plain of Palestine, embracing the celebrated Sharon on the north, and Philistia on the south. Sharon was more celebrated In poetry than in history; and the number of remarkable places in it is but small. The ancient and celebrated sea-port of Joppa may be said to separate Sharon from Philistia After visiting the ruins of several of the well-known cities of the Philistine; we climb the mountains of Judah, and pass into the southern district of the land.-ED.]
