REGENT EGYPTOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN ITS 

 BIBLICAL RELATION. By tlie Rev. Henry George 

 ToMKiNS;, Member of Council of the Society of Biblical 

 Archgsology. 



YERY great and important have been the advances of 

 Egyptology, both in the field and in the study, since my 

 paner on the Life of Joseph was read to our Institute on the 

 :5rd of May, 1880. 



Three years before, on the 16th of April, 1877, I had 

 communicated something on the Life of Abraham, illustrated 

 by Recent Researches, which was afterwards expanded into an 

 illustrated volume, entitled Studies on the Times of Abraham.^ 

 My endeavour has been fairly to lay the Biblical narrative side 

 by side with other records and parallel information derived 

 from Egyptian, Chaldasan, Assyrian, and other ancient sources, 

 and to indicate the results arising from this comparison. 



* Bagster, 15, Paternoster Eow, I am preparing a new introduction to
