 * Lebanon.
   Lebanon is a long chain of limestone mountains, extending from
   near the coast of the Mediterranean on the west to the plains
   of Damascus on the east, and forming the extreme northern
   boundary of the Holy Land.  It is divided into two principal
   ridges, running parallel to each other in a north-north-east
   direction; the most westerly of which was properly called
   Libanus, and the easterly Anti-Libanus:  the Hebrews did not
   make this distinction.  It is computed to be fifteen or
   sixteen hundred fathoms in height.  They are by no means
   barren, but are almost all well cultivated and well peopled;
   their summits being in many parts level, and forming extensive
   plains, in which are sown corn and all kinds of pulse.
   Vineyards, and plantations of olive, mulberry, and fig trees,
   are also cultivated in terraces formed by walls; and the soil
   of the declivities and hollows is most excellent, and produces
   abundance of corn, oil, and wine.
