From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Wailing-place, Jews'
      a section of the western wall of the temple area, where the Jews
      assemble every Friday afternoon to bewail their desolate
      condition (Ps. 79:1, 4, 5). The stones in this part of the wall
      are of great size, and were placed, as is generally believed, in
      the position in which they are now found in the time of Solomon.
      "The congregation at the wailing-place is one of the most solemn
      gatherings left to the Jewish Church, and as the writer gazed at
      the motley concourse he experienced a feeling of sorrow that the
      remnants of the chosen race should be heartlessly thrust outside
      the sacred enclosure of their fathers' holy temple by men of an
      alien race and an alien creed. Many of the elders, seated on the
      ground, with their backs against the wall, on the west side of
      the area, and with their faces turned toward the eternal house,
      read out of their well-thumbed Hebrew books passages from the
      prophetic writings, such as Isa. 64:9-12" (King's Recent
      Discoveries, etc.). The wailing-place of the Jews, viewed in its
      past spiritual and historic relations, is indeed "the saddest
      nook in this vale of tears." (See LAMENTATIONS, BOOK {OF}.)
