cation of races and insists that the mixture of accounts
for all He resemblance between the Africans and
any other and finds that there is geographical reason
for believing that the Northern cisSaharal part of Africa
was part of Europe and utraSahara Africa was an island
The Egyptians passed from Italy Spain the physical
connection between these and Africa being almost raceabe
now at low tide From the Egyptians the Syrians,
Arabans Armenans, The Chinese Tarars, etc. skirt
northward into Scandinavia But beyond them there are
tribes that resemble the Indians of the extreme north OF
America These very different from the aborglnes OF
South America The Professor finds that each great kingdom
of race had its several and original CIVILIZATION
an Egypon, a Chinese, Greek, Mexican a PERUVIAN
civilization and neither of these be regarded as having
been produced by the other though our later ceners OF evil
izaon may be traced to the other OF these Inc
details he gave concerning these civilizations extremely
interesting He quoted from very ancient Chinese writings
of date several thousand years before Christi the golden rule
and found that with them the idea that government
existed for the benefit of the people governed instead OF e
governors Some present observed after the
he thought would be advisable to get the Chinese to send
missionaries to Europe When considering the ancient
Egyptian civilization the Professor read us an Egyptian
novel, decphered from monuments which existed long before
the DAYS of the Pentaeuch which clearly the original OF
the story of Joseph and Pophar wife, and has good deal
of the style of the Arabian Nights in It, With reference to
the grand question of ethnoogy whether all

the islands and continents which exist no longer Over the
whole earth distributed low primitive stock OF

THE AGE THE WoRLD-The scholarly and theological
world severely exercised just an English trans
aon Just published of the late Baron Bunsens elaborate
investigation the position of Egypt In history
devout professor of Evangelical Christianity Bunsen joined
his own great learning and industry the long list of Egypt
oogers from Campoon Lepsius and has evolved out OF
the vague memorials of that ancient land most curious and
interesting system of chronology by which he inepets the
numbers of the biblical record symbols not chronicles
He thinks that man upon the earth about 10000 years
that the language OF Egypt was IN process OF formation
about $4,000 years c. that e. was the commence
men of symbolica heroglyphcs, and so on Noas flood
he places about 10000 years b. His whole system is
founded the principle that if this mighty empire found
to have existed 1000 years Co. with peculiar language,
written characters national and science and if it be shown
that its language not original there but deposit from
older Asiatc formation 1t will require at least ZoOoo
wears TO explain the beginning of the development of man,
through the laws of growth in language The system is
elaborated in five Volumes and while tancifu and largely
imaginative, magnificent monument of learning, which is
attracting great attention throughout the English speak
ing world.
