Excerpt from The Princeton Review, Vol. 13: October 1841 Whatever may be the heat of the low lands of Syria, the temperature of Mount Lebanon, where the best wine in Palestine was made, must be sufficiently cool for the most perfect fermentation. And if any farther testimony is de sired, in regard to the seasons of Lebanon, it can be found in the letters addressed to the New York Observer, by Mr. Buckingham, and by the Rev. Messr.s Bird and Smith, of the Syrian mission. See also the Biblical Researches of Prof. Robinson, vol. Iii, p. 344, and note 1, p. 440.
