Author Description

Excerpt from Egypt's Place in Universal History, Vol. 2 of 5: An Historical Investigation in Five Books As regards the historical inquiry into the New Empire, which was originally announced as the conclusion of the Third, I have reserved it for the Fifth Book, after the Book of Synchronisms. For it is these Synchronisms, after all, which give to the monuments of the New Empire and the historical notices they contain their real importance, so far as Universal History is concerned.
