CRITICAL NOTICES.
From The Athenæum (London).
“This book contains a great deal of new information on the topography of the Holy Land, derived from the latest hieroglyphic documents, as well as from the accounts of recent travelers.... The wilderness of Shur (a word meaning a wall) was beyond the Great Wall of Egypt, and was also, according to the happy conjecture of our author, the wilderness of Etham. This is an important identification, which will be a new starting-point for the history of the exodus.”
From The Academy (London).
“This is a truly noteworthy book, and will at once command the attention of all biblical scholars.”
From the London Quarterly Review.
“This is one of the noblest historical monographs that we have, and in some respects surpasses all other books of the kind.... The reader will find this work of our American divine deeply engrossing; combining, in fact, many kinds of interest not often meeting in one volume. We have a fine historical insight running through all the ages; a keen appreciation of the difficulties of the exodus, an intelligent attempt to settle them; an intense enthusiasm for the biblical history as such, and the dramatic skill of a modern traveler.... It is a book which our young Hebraists and students of the Old Testament should read over and over again.”
