Modern Egypt: Its Witness to Christ; Lectures After a Visit to Egypt (Classic Reprint)

It should be explained that the following Addresses are the reprint, almost verbatim of Lectures delivered week by week to a mixed and fluctuating congregation of visitors and residents in aN orthern wateringplace. Prepared without any view to their permanent publication, in such scanty leisure as could be found in the pressure of ordinary parish work, they were printed each week by two local newspapers; and even in their present less ephemeral form are nothing more, in style and substance, than a reproduction of what they were originally intended to be. This will, it is hoped, explain, and in part excuse, certain peculiarities of style and composition, largely due to their local and rhetorical colouring, of which the writer is very sensible. In regard to the Addresses themselves, he can only hope that they will sufficiently explain themselves. They are an endeavour to present in a popular and colloquial form some of the results which have accrued to the study of theB ible History from recent discoveries in Egypt.
