images-which were intended BY
the religion as types of certain Of
Gods attributes-worshiped as
gods. Moses, who was really a
Prince in Egypt so far as his social
standing went, was educated by the
priests, and, of course, well under
stood the monotheistic character of
the Egyptian religion; but he saw
that the masses of the people had
so prostituted their religion that he
was anxious to get the Hebrews as
far away from their pernicious
example as possible. But it is rea-
sonable to suppose that in the age
of Ptah-hotep, the writer of this
book, nearly 1000 years before
Moses was born, there had been no
such perversion of their religion by
the Egyptians as Disguised the
great lawgiver of the Israelites.
This book, it must be borne in
mind, was not an isolated example
of culture and scholarship. 1t was
the perfectly natural outcome of
civilization which was scarcely in
ferior to that of a century ago, and
which could boast of magnificent
ga people highly instruct
ed in all the arts of peace, a state
carefully organized, a hierarchy
firmly founded, infinitely divid-
ed and organized, even to the
smallest external matters, a univer-
sally diffused system of writing and
the common use of papyrus-in
short, a civilization which in all es-
sential points has already attained
its full maturity. and only by close
Investigation is further development

THE OLDEST BOOK IN THE
WORLD.
IT Is NOT TIE BIBLE, AS MANY MAY
THINK, ACCORDING TO A WRITER.

Baltimore american: ]. H. Mitch
nier, in Kao,Dledge for June, gives
an interesting account of the old
est book in the world. Many will
suppose that the Bible is meant,
but the most orthodox have never
claimed that the earlier books of
the Bible were written prior to the
exodus from Egypt, while the
"Papyrus Prisse" was written at
least l,5O0 years before Moses was
born, and many years before the
occurrence of the Noachian deluge.
The book was discovered by
Frenchman named Prisse at Thebes,
and presented at the Bibliotheque
Rationale in Paris. 1t was taken
from a tomb in which was found
the mummy of one of the Entews
of the eleventh, or first Theban,
dynasty, which would prove that
the manuscript was written at least
prior to $500 B. c.; but the book
itself furnishes internal evidence of
of the date of its composition, and
contains extracts from a work that
was much older. 1t was compiled
by the Project Ptah-hotep during
the reign of King ASA. This po-
tentate was the last but one of the
fifth dynasty, so that the book |
must have been written about $3.50 /
B. c., or considerably more than
5000 years ago.
The precepts OF Ptah-hotep,
which give the title to the book,
are preceded by passages from an
earlier work written by Kakimna,
Project to King Seneferu, of the
the third dynasty, which ruled be-
fore the Pyramids were built, about
$500 B. c., which would make it if
in existence now $3.50 years old,
antedating, according to the old
chronologists, and as some still be-
lieve, the creation of Adam in the
Garden of Eden, or at least his fall
from grace. The book is written
in Hieratic and has been translated
into French by NJ. Virey and into
by Prof. Osgood. Its main
value IL not as a literary curiosity,
but for the insight it gives into the
education and culture which had
been reached by man at that early
period in the history of the human
race. Its writer, Ptah-hotep, was
a Prefect-a place of great dignity :
and responsibility under the an
