Author Description

Excerpt from The Religion of the Ancient Egyptians The American Lectures on the History of Religions are delivered under the auspices of the American Committee for Lectures on the History of Religions. This Committee was organised in 1892 for the purpose of instituting "popular courses in the History of Religions, somewhat after the style of the Hibbert lectures in England, to be delivered annually by the best scholars of Europe and this country, in various cities, such as Baltimore, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, and others." The terms of association under which the Committee exists are as follows: 1. - The object of this Association shall be to provide courses of lectures on the history of religions, to be delivered in various cities. 2. - The Association shall be composed of delegates from Institutions agreeing to co-operate, or from Local Boards organised where such cooperation is not possible.
