Author Description

Excerpt from Egypt and Syria: Their Physical Features in Relation to Bible History This work contains the results of observations made in the winter of 1883-4, during which the writer devoted some attention to the less known features of the geology of portions of Egypt and Palestine, with especial reference to the bearing of facts of this kind on Bible History. He believes that his long and somewhat varied experience as a geological observer will enable him to throw additional light on some of the more difficult questions of Biblical geography, and to present some useful illustrations of the Sacred Scriptures. Rough notes of some of these observations have appeared in the Leisure Hour, but the present work contains a much larger amount of matter, with additional illustrations. In the present edition, some new facts bearing on the questions discussed have been introduced, and additional explanations have been given in cases where the conclusions of the author have been disputed or misunderstood.
