s 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_.

"Evidently prepared with great care."--_Chicago Evening Journal_.

"Not merely the curious in antiquarian matters will find this volume
attractive, but the general reader will be pleased, entertained, and
informed by it."--_Portland Argus_.

"The work possessed the freshness and charm of romance, and cannot fail
to repay all who glance over its pages."--_Philadelphia City Item_.
