MODEL OF JERUSALEM IN ITS ANCIENT

S FATE

We last week could but briefly draw the attention of
the public to the beautiful and elaborate model (just then
opened) of ancient Jerusalem, as it stood at or about the
period of the crucifixion of cur blessed Saviour (A.D.
35 or 36); and now, that we have obtained a more pro-
longed view of this extraordinary work of art, which has
already excited great interest in our town, we cannot, in
justice to the ingenious, patient, and devoted producer,
do less than furnish a more extended sketch of its merits,
—which, however, will be yet inadequate, inasmuch as
the events and localities connected with the Holy City
are so multitudinous that many chapters would be re-
quired to supply anything like detail.
The model is of great magnitude, occupying, with the
surrounding fields, valleys, and mountains, upwards of
100 superficial square feet; yet the principal buildings
are (being proportionate) only a few inches in height.
It is the work of Air. Brunetti, a citizen of Dublin, was
first exhibited in that city to admiring thousands, and is
now to be seen for the first time in Great Britain, through
the principal towns of which we have no doubt but it will
pass, and be inspected and approved by large masses of
the Christian community. Every principal public and
private building, the streets, the fortifications, the towers,
the Roman structures then built, the temples, the mounts,
in the higher and lower cities, the ravines within the out-
ward walls, &c., are all formed in wood, painted or co-
loured in exact representation of what they were at the

epoch mentioned

I may be considered as faithful in

his labour of love, not only cf Holy Writ, but of the
writings of Josephus the Jewish historian, and other
contemporary and corroborating writers, and also of the
accounts, surveys, and charts of all the travellers who
have from age to age visited the city—now in compara-
tive ruin and obliteration—up to the present time. It is
a high, and will, we trust, be a lasting honour to Mr.
Brunetti, who is an artist of some celebrity, that he did

that modesty which is ever the concomitant of true genius
and manly perseverance, he states, in a postscript to a
small pamphlet descriptive of the model—
-4' The Author of this little Work and of the Model which it is
intended to illustrate, conscious . that he is neither al chitect,
painter, nor mechanic, can perhaps only offer a very rough and
imperfect re; resentatiou of that which he has attempted to
describe. He trusts, however, that it will be at least found
faithful; and should imperfections be discovered, he hopes that
a consideration of the difficultie.„ in which the subject is involved
wi 1 cause them to be looked on with an indulgent eye, from the
circumstance that he was first indu:ei to frame the Model
for his private satisfaction alone, in illustration of that city,
where, of old, Jehovah dwelt—where David sung—and where
Jesus suffered, Ile has, however, been since prevailed upon by
a number of very kind friends, up n whose judgment he relied,
to lay it for inspection before the public; and it has been his

well w endeavour to confine the Model, as ell as this Description, to
a simple illustration of the historical passages in the Sacred
Scriptures and Josephus, without at all touching upon the
subject of religion."

the author has already enjoyed the satisfaction to learn
that his model has been pronounced by many of the most
critical biblical scholars, clergy as well as laity, and also
celebrated antiquarian students and tourists, to be as
faithful a representation of the Ancient City as the some-
what differing statements in the Scriptures, and in the
writings of the early historians, would permit; and they
all admit that he has availed himself, in every point, of
the stronger probabilities which these combined state-
ments supply. The Bible is, in fine, the main ground-
work upon which he relies, and the facts it contains are
almost invariably corroborated to the full extent by the
contemporary historians of the time,—any difference that

may appear, and it is but slight, being attributable to the
hasty or mistaken opinions of writers not inspired, or
imperfectly acquainted with the locality.

The model is most ably described' in every point to

viour's sojourn and sufferings on earth. This is accom-
plished without the aid of book or notes by Mr. Durant,
who is in charge of the exhibition, with a fluency and elo-
quence which never fails to rivet the silent and respectful
attention of his auditory. The subject, the model, and
the explanation—reverting in every point to Holy Writ
and authenticated history, and pointing out the precise
localities of the principal events during the Saviour's so-
journ, up to the time he was taken. as a lamb to the
slaughter, tend to arouse in the minds of all present, me-
lancholy and affecting but wholesome reminiscences of
his history. up to the period of his ascension. The local-
ities are pointed out with a long wand. The striking fea-
tures of the ancient city, her everlasting hills enclosing
her on three sides—her fortified walls—her highways and
approaches—the Palace of Herod—the Temple of Herod,
built on the site of the Temple of Solomon—the several
-ates of -'-- C

ae city and their purposes—the King's Gardens
—the several vallies, fountains, aqueducts, &c.—the Pool
of Bethesda—the Theatre and Circus, &c., built by the
Romans—the Hall of Judgment—Mount Calvary, the
Cross, and the Holy Sepulchre, adjoining the Mount of
Olives—the Castle of David and his Tomb—Solomon's
Porch—the Golden Gate—the Castle of Antonio—the
Suburbs—the Vale of Gihon—the Mulberry Tree, still
extant, in King David's Gardens—the Tomb of the
Virgin, still to be seen at the base of the Mount of Olives
—the Valley of Jehoshaphat—the Tombs of the Jews—
the Pillar of Absalom—and, in fine, every interesting
object recorded in SacrecrWrit, or in the ancient histories
belonging to Jerusalem and its vicinity at that period.
We need but add, in conclusion, that the Model, the
interest excited by which is much enhanced by the lucid
description given, is well worthy a full hour's inspectlon,
for it recalls scenes and events in the history of mankind,
and especially of his mysterious redemption, that, with all
the contingent circumstances and corroborations, impress
the well-regulated mind with a deep sense of the sublimity
and truth of the Christian dispensation ; and it may be
visited with equal interest and advantage by the young as
well as the old.
