=Egypt.=

EGYPT 3,300 YEARS AGO; OR, RAMESES THE GREAT.  By F. DE LANOYE.  With 40 illustrations.  One volume, 12mo $1 50

For specimen illustration see page 17.

This volume is devoted to the wonders of Ancient Egypt during the time of the Pharaohs and under Sesostris, the period of its greatest splendor and magnificence.  Her monuments, her palaces, her pyramids, and her works of art are not only accurately described in the text, but reproduced in a series of very attractive illustrations as they have been restored by French explorers, aided by students of Egyptology.  While the volume has the attraction of being devoted to a subject which possesses all the charms of novelty to the great number of readers, it has the substantial merit of discussing, with intelligence and careful accuracy, one of the greatest epochs in the world’s history.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

“I think this a good book for the purpose for which it is designed.  It is brief on each head, lively and graphic, without any theatrical artifices:  is not the work of a novice, but of a real scholar in Egyptology, and, as far as can be ascertained now, is history.”—­JAMES C. MOFFAT, Professor in Princeton Theological Seminary.

“The volume is full of wonders.”—­Hartford Courant.
