“We know of no volume which will better promote an intelligent understanding of the structure and substance of the Bible than this work, prepared, as it is, by competent and reverent Christian scholars.”—Sunday-School Times.

Transcriber's Note:
This book contains a large number of characters with a macron (straight line) over them. You may need to adjust your browser settings for them to display properly.
Minor typographical errors (omitted punctuation, omitted or transposed letters, etc.) have been amended without note. Use of hyphenation and accents have also been made consistent without note, where there was a definite preference of one variation over the other.
The following amendments have also been made (the errors in the index being amended with reference to the main text). They are also shown as notes in the text, which have a faint grey dotted underline; hover your mouse over the word(s) to see the note.
Page [viii]—41 amended to 40—"... Unsuccessful siege of Bujēya, 40 ..."
Page [72]—Tinnēs amended to Tinnis—"... Damietta, Alexandria, Tinnis, and Cairo ..."
Page [83]—Vizīr amended to Vezīr—"The Grand Vezīr Ibrahīm recognized ..."
Page [133]—a closing quote immediately before footnote reference [40] has been deleted. The text immediately preceding this quote mark does not occur in the referenced work, so I have made the assumption that this quote mark was a typographical error and deleted it.
