Dr. Clark is the boldest of these modern sceptics; for while others simply doubt, he goes further, and with a feeling bordering certainly on rashness, attempts at once to designate other sites for these distinguished events. His boldness is not more surprising than is the small amount of evidence he produces for his localities; and I believe he has had scarcely a single follower, among either readers at home, or travellers to these interesting spots. As he stands quite alone, the subject of wonder rather than of credence, we will not stop to examine his theories; but proceed to notice the old belief, and the doubts of more cautious and moderate men. FOOTNOTES: [15] I have been surprised as well as pleased to see the large number of copies of Josephus that are sold in this city [New-York.] I have attended the book auctions here quite frequently; and have observed that there is no book of its size that meets with such a ready sale, or brings so good a price. The work merits all this--Josephus has not received the praise from literary men that he deserves. [16] PLAN OF THE ANCIENT AND MODERN CITY OF JERUSALEM. The castellated lines represent the walls as they existed at the time of the crucifixion. The zigzag lines mark the supposed course of Agrippa’s wall, erected a few years after that event. The dotted lines, represent the walls of the present city of Jerusalem. The square figure represents the court of the ancient temple, with the temple in the centre. REFERENCES. ANCIENT CITY. 1.
