EDEN, a town upon Mount Libanus, situated in a very delicious place; the river Adonis is not far from it, and a little more to the South are the Cedars of Libanus. It is our opinion, that the Prophet Amos speaks of this town of Eden, or Aden, in these terms; I will destroy him who holds the Sceptre of the house of Eden, or, according to the Vulgate, of the house of pleasure.
