A similar mode of irrigating lands obtains in the island of Cyprus
Sayfa 205 - Pyramid, a chamber, in which there was a hollow stone : in it was a statue of stone like a man, and within it a man, upon whom was a breast-plate of gold set with jewels ; upon...
Sayfa 108 - ... this channel a great number .of holes, some of them four or five inches deep, and one or two in diameter, the lively and demonstrative tokens of their having been formerly so many fountains. It likewise may be further observed, that art or chance could by no means be concerned in the contrivance, for every circumstance points out to us a miracle, and, in the same manner with the rent in the rock of Mount Calvary, at Jerusalem, never fails to produce a religious surprise in all who see it.
Sayfa 205 - ... price, and at his head a carbuncle of the bigness of an egg, shining like the light of the day ; and upon him were characters written with a pen, no man knows what they signify.
