One volume, 8vo., 478 pages, with two maps and four full page illustrations, $5.00. 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." FROM PROFESSOR A. H. SAYCE, OF OXFORD UNIVERSITY. "It is one of the most 'thorough' books I have ever come across. Among other points proved by you, your identification of the desert of Shur is perhaps the neatest and most important." FROM PROFESSOR Dr. Franz Delitzsch, of LEIPZIG UNIVERSITY. "As an apple of Tantalus, your splendid work concerning KadeshBarnea sways above me. I am not yet filled with it; . . unbearable that I should longer refrain from thanking you. but it is It is a great service that you, following the lead of the sainted Palmer, have made Ên Kudeis the object of your investigation. .. My commentary on Genesis is out of print. Would that I could yet once more work over this commentary. Then I would have an opportunity to show my thankful appreciation of your work." FROM DR. HERMANN GUTHE (SECRETARY OF THE GERMAN PALESTINE SOCIETY) IN THE Theologische Literatur-Zeitung, OF LEIPZIG. "Trumbull appears to me to be specially felicitous in his determination of the three roads leading out from Egypt to the East, which are of great importance for the general history of the further East. . . The happy result of his journey is very gratifying, and we have to thank his diligent studies for a valuable contribution to biblical geography." FROM PROFESSOR C. A. BRIGGS (OF UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY) IN The Presbyterian Review. "This is the most important work upon the geography of the Holy Land produced in America since the Biblical Researches of Edward Robinson. . Dr. Trumbull has established the site of Kadesh-Barnea so thoroughly, and so fortified his conclusions on every hand, that we believe no one will hereafter think of questioning them. The book is written in an interesting and fervent style. The author grapples with his reader. His enthusiasm is contagious. The critic has to take care and stand firm lest he be swept off his feet. We thank Dr. Trumbull for his labor of love and enthusiasm. He has done honor to American pluck and indefatigable research. We are proud of the book and the man." **For sale by all booksellers, or sent post-paid upon receipt of price, by |
