Author Description

Excerpt from Lectures on Egypt and Its Monuments, as Illustrative of Scripture In perfect sobriety we say that it has but seldom been lotto read a pamphlet of so fascinating and instructive a charac ter. We have in it the whole marrow of Layard's three volumes, and especially those parts that have a more direct and immediate bearing on revelation; and all this, not in the form of a skeleton detail of facts, but garnished and embellished with the products of a fine lowing imagination, and of a chaste, elegant style.-halifax aft/nose.
