First sentence: EVERY one has heard or read of Damascus, that city of majestic loveliness and surpassing beauty, with its picturesque minarets, its ample domes and glittering crescents, so imposing that Mohammed, when he beheld it from the summit of the western hills, suddenly halted, struck with wonder at the sublimity of the scene, and passing from amidst its luxuriant gardens and sparkling waters, exclaimed to his followers-"There is but one paradise destined for man; as for me, I am resolved not to choose mine on earth."
