Extract

In this paper the writer proposes to revise and extend the argument used thirty years ago by the late Professor Schouw of Copenhagen, as to the climate of Palestine, founded on the coincident cultivation of the Date Palm, and the Vine: the one plant nearly ceasing to bring its fruit to maturity when the other begins to be productive. Tropical heat is as necessary to the maturity of the date as it is injurious to the manufacture of wine.
