With a Brief Review of Recent Events in Egypt. By Rev. Henry M. Field, D.D., author of “From the Lakes of Killarney to the Golden Horn,” and “Egypt to Japan.” 1 vol. crown 8vo, with a map, $2.
This volume is the account of a journey in the track of the Israelites along the Red Sea, among the peaks of Sinai, through the Desert of the Wandering, and up to the Promised Land.
From Rev. Wm. M. Taylor, D.D.: “I was so interested in its perusal that it was with difficulty that I could persuade myself to lay it down. I find it more interesting than a novel, and full, besides, of valuable information, sound reflection, and clear thinking. The descriptions enable one to see for himself the objects on which the writer looked. The style is clearness itself. One never feels at a loss to know the meaning, and is never tempted to read a section over again to be sure that he has quite understood it; but is borne along with a delightful sense of enjoyment. Without the jolting and fatigue of riding on a camel’s back, one has all the pleasure of an excursion through those scenes which must be forever sacred to the lovers of the Word of God. Nor must I forget to add that every now and then a delightful humor bubbles up in these pages, which adds immensely to the charm of a very charming book.”

Including Egypt, Assyria and Babylonia, Persia, India, Phœnicia, Etruria, Greece, Rome. By George Rawlinson, M.A., author of “The Origin of Nations,” etc. 1 vol., 12mo, $1.
“The historical studies which have elevated this author’s works to the highest position have made him familiar with those beliefs which once directed the world’s thought; and he has done literature no better service than in this little volume. . . . The book is, then, to be accepted as a sketch, and as the most trustworthy sketch in our language, of the religions discussed.”—N. Y. Christian Advocate.
