cavil the general identity of the present area of the mosque with that of the ancient Temple. Further; the same bridge connected the Temple with Zion; and the hill now opposite on the west is thus proved to be Zion. In this way is shown the falsity of Dr. Clarke's theory, who held Zion to be the hill south of the Valley of Hinnom; a theory which, heretofore, scholars might disbelieve, but could not disprove. Thus we may go on through the whole city; and, as one point after another is gained, each may be referred back, for all the certainty it can claim, to the identification of the arch in question with the ancient bridge. - IV. The sum of the whole matter may, therefore, be stated as follows: Mr. Scoles was aware, doubtless, from Josephus, that an ancient bridge had existed; but was unable to find any remains. He suggested to Mr. Catherwood to look for such remains, but the suggestion was forgotten; and when Mr. C. found the arch in question, he was not aware that there had been an ancient bridge. That is to say; the former knew there had been a bridge, but found no remains; the latter did not know that a bridge had existed, but found the fragment of an arch, which he referred to an aqueduct and viaduct. Thus far there was no gain to history or topography. It was left to a third person, five years afterwards, knowing nothing of what the former two had done, to connect and identify on the spot the said remains with the ancient bridge; and thus to fix a definite and imperishable landmark, from which to trace out and settle beyond controversy many most important points in the archæology and topography of the Holy City. V. In accordance with these remarks, the statement of Mr. Bartlett is to be modified, in his recent work, entitled, "Walks about the City and Environs of Jerusalem," London, 1844, p. 149. I may here add, that the engraved view of the arch given in that work (p. 150) does not strike me as very correct. The wall in that part does by no means present an appearance so regular and well defined. If my memory is right, the drawing made by Mr. Catherwood is far more truthful. In conclusion, I would repeat, that it is with very great reluctance that I thus come before the public. It has, however, seemed to me, that justice to Mr. Catherwood, as well as to myself, demands it. Yours, with great respect, New York, June 10th, 1844. EDWARD ROBINSON. NEW PUBLICATIONS RECEIVED.
