Author Description

Excerpt from Graven in the Rock: Or, the Historical Accuracy of the Bible Confirmed by Reference to the Assyrian and Egyptian Monuments in the British Museum and Elsewhere My gratitude is especially due to the Principal Librarian and Secretary, Dr. Edward Maunde Thompson, who has given me every possible facility for studying the monuments and taking copies of them by photography and otherwise; and with his name I would couple that of the Assistant Secretary, Mr. John T. Taylor. The courteous assistance of Mr. Le Page Renouf, Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities, and of Mr. Theophilus G. Pinches, of the same Department, have been invaluable to me, Mr. Pinches having also greatly helped me by examining all the proof-sheets Of my work during his leisure-hours at home.
