Author Description

Excerpt from The Moments of Egypt, and Their Vestiges of Patriarchal Traditions: Forming Second Part of "the One Primeval Language" The general interest in the subject of the present work, manifested by the favourable reception of its First Part, has more than justified the reliance there expressed, "that the English Public would grant that fair and impartial hearing, and exercise that wise suspense of judgment, by which alone knowledge is enlarged, and without which it is impossible that justice can be done to the treatment of any subject, on a new principle, or in an untrodden way." In entering upon the Second Part of this Inquiry, the author has only to repeat the expression of the same calm reliance, while he invites his readers to accompany him from Sinai to Egypt; from the scenes of the wanderings of God's ancient people, to the imperial seats of their alternate protectors and persecutors, the Pharaohs.
