The chief interest of many of the events recorded in the Bible gathers round its rivers and lakes and this book attempts to link the explanation of the Scripture with the description of the scenes which are visited.

Of particular value are the charming plates a set of delicate pen-and-ink lithographs known as "Nelson Prints". The image of each plate is first printed from a lithograph stone in a purplish ink. The plate is then coloured in pale blue and fawn from separate relief wood blocks. Not in Tobler who refers 225 only to Tweedie's earlier work "Jerusalem and its Environs" 1860.

Surprisingly Scarce in this edition which was <br/><br/>Dust jacket price is 500 rupees. DJ blurbs by V. S. Pritchett Elizabeth Hardwick Michael Ratcliffe. "Printed by PUSP Print Services" on last page. A companion volume to his AMONG THE BELIEVERS: this is his observations on his travels in Indonesia Iran Pakistan and Malaysia. "Beyond Belief is interesting and often perceptive and offers real insights into the lives and experiences of these people. As narrative it is an impressive achievement--but it is not only narrative. Despite Naipaul's surprising disclaimer that this is not "a book of opinion" or of "conclusions" it is very much both. Opinion and conclusion are reflected in the selection of stories and in their structure and tone; they are also evident in the editorial commentary scattered throughout. Naipaul repeatedly characterizes Islam as a fanatic missionary religion dedicated to erasing the histories and native cultures of convert peoples. Although all missionary religions are to some extent guilty of this Islam in his view is more single-minded and systematic in its effacement of the past - Choice Review".
