form the staple Of the work, and "a much Of
Egyptian history aud description is introduced
as are necessary to complete the picture, and
give il fulness and unity. Mr.. lngraham 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 underta.
king Of such nature, and justice to the writer
requires that the preface and appendix should
be read before the text Of the work The oh.
iect is TO promote a knowledge Of the Bible, by
eading readers to compare aud verify, and
search for themselves. The material for the
volumes, it is proper to say. is drawn from
other sources, and the Imagination Of the wri

continuous narrative. 1t is Phcnician and
contemporary view Of the scenes and events
which we are accustomed to regard from quite
a different stand point. 1t will popularize
knowledge upon subjects heretofore restricted to
arch@ologists.
