Excerpt from The English Historical Review, 1898, Vol. 13The country originally contained hardly any products of value beside its rich soil and the wild animals in its reedy coverts, wild cattle, deer, boars, lions, &c., , and the fish in its rivers. The palm trees which now so mark its landscape are said by Hommel not to have been indigenous, but imported and so were apparently all the things necessary for civilisation and culture - stone and metal, wood and pitch, corn and olive trees. The country had clearly to be reclaimed in every respect, just as much as a western clearing in America has, and as we know it in later times it was the direct product of human labour, foresight, and skill.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
