Excerpt from Orientalisms in Bible Lands: Giving Light From Customs, Habits, Manners, Imagery, Thought and Life in the East for Bible Students Once it was common to speak of the unchanging East, as scholars and explorers were wont to do in the last generation.

Native Oriental customs are already modified by these influences to an extent little suspected by many even Of the Orientals themselves.
