searching out the manifold secrets which
yet lie hidden beneath the sands and
mounds Of Egypt. o: all pursuits which

Ancient City Of Zoan.
San was finally chosen and San proved
to be the ancient city Of Zoan buiit seven
wears before Hebron. But here the
mounds were of enormous extent, and
they consisted OF whole series Of
cities built one above the other with a
city Of Diocletian at the top and a city
Of Abraham at the bottom. For such a
mammoth undertaking a special fund OF
$1,000 was raised in England by great
effort and much vicarious giving, secured
by eloquent persuasion. !.
Having chosen the site, the work was
extraordinarily thorough. Every block Of
stone was cleared around and every frag-
ment of inscription copied and the most
complete plan and description rendered to
that time of any site in Egypt.
This care in detail has always distin-
guished the work OF the fund, whether in
excavation. copying wall-dra wings Of the

searching for papyri. No site is ever
abandoned until everything possible to
