Synopsis
Excerpt from The Crescent and the Cross, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Romance and Realities of Eastern Travel
But the sudden change of climate and vegetation strikes one more, perhaps, than any other. A few days ago, wrapped in great-coats, I was shivering among leafless trees: to-day, a light sailor's jacket feels oppressive, and the cactus, aloe, and geranium, are flowering in profusion wherever they can find footing on the steep and rugged rock.
