Author Description

From the preface:"Professor Sayce has written a charming work, which every lover of Egypt will fly to. He makes the old Egypt live again with all the vitality of accurate research and of sympathetic explanation; he has produced one of the most readable, useful, and instructive hooks we have ever read."- Church Bells."Professor Sayce has a story of singular fascination to tell. Every person interested intelligently in Holy Scripture should make it a matter of duty to read this book.'-Yorkshire Post.'Truly a valuable addition to existing works on Egypt." Western Morning News."On the whole, we know of no more useful handbook to Egyptian history, summing up in a popular form in a short compass the results of Egyptian research down to the present time."-Church Times.
