Conder received the thanks of the committee and the commendation of the Secretary of State for war. "It may fairly be claimed" wrote Sir Walter Besant "That nothing has ever been done for the illustration and right understanding of the historical portions of the Old and New Testaments since the translation into the vulgar tongue which can be compare with this great work." Kitchener later Field Marshal joined the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1874 beginning his involvement with the East which was to last almost for the remainder of his life.<br /> <br /> "These 'Memoirs' were drawn up from notes in the field by Lieutenants Conder and Kitchener. They are divided into 'Sheets' corresponding with the divisions of the Great Map of Western Palestine in twenty-six sheets on the scale of one inch a mile. The method pursued in the division and sub-division of the Memoirs was adopted in accordance with the recommendations of a sub-committee appointed for the purpose of considering the best mode of presenting the information in their hands."
