"The Prince Of the House of David" has had
a sale unexcecdcd by tiny volume of It's size
and character In that work the effort was
made to illustrate events in the land of Judea,
by the letters Of Jewish maiden. In this a
young prince Of Phenicia is supposed to write
from Egypt. The condition of the children o!
Israel, and the wonders wrought by Moses,
form the sta pie of the work, and as much OF
Egyptian history and description is introduced
as are necessary to complete the picture, and
give it fullness and unity. MIR. Ingraham has
diligently consulted all accessible authorities
upon the antiquities and customs of Egypt, and
the volume is the result of long and patient
study. Many difficulties attend an unde rtaking
of such a nature, and justice TO the writer re-
quires that the preface aud appendix should be
read before the text of the work. The object
is to promote a knowledke of the Bible, by
leading readers to compare and verify, and
search for themselves.
