Note 531 — Chapter VI · THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE MONARCHY (continued 3)

See my article in the Quarterly Statement of the Palestine Exploration Fund, 1883, pp. 215-223, where I have staked the justification of my views on the discovery of the ‘stairs’ near the spot where the rock-cut steps have been found by Dr. Bliss (Ibid. 1896-97). Dr. Guthe first noticed that a shallow valley once existed between the Temple-hill and the so-called ‘Ophel.’
