     * 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.
