 Thurso, named Robert Dick, a baker by trade. I am proud to call him my distinguished 

 friend. Here is a man who is earning his daily bread by hard work, who is obliged to read

History of Egypt under the Pharaohs. 

 Derived entirely from Monuments. 



WITH A MEMOIR ON THE EXODUS OF THE ISRAELITES. 



By HENRY BRUGSCH BEY. 

 Translated by H. DANBY SEYMOUR and PHILIP SMITH, B.A. 



Willi Maps and Illustrations. 2 Vols. Sz'O. 30J. 



The History of Egypt now offered to the English reader is distinct from the long train of 

 able and interesting works which, in opening to the last and the present generations the life 

 and story of the Old Egyptians, as by a new revelation, have at the same time thrown a clear 

 and vivid light on many portions of Holy Scripture. 



It embodies the Herculean task of weaving the testimony of the Egyptian records, whether 

 inscribed on the monuments or written on the countless rolls of papyrus, into a consecutive 

 history, derived solely from these ancient and authentic sources, and free from all the 

 colouring of external traditions. 



Six Months in Ascension. An Unscientific 

 Account of a Scientific Expedition. 



By Mrs. GILL. 



Prefaced by a Brief and Popular History of the Methods employed 

 to Discover the Sun's Distance from the Earth. 



By DAVID GILL. 

 With Map. Crown 8rv. gs. 



A Scientific Expedition may be said to have two histories. The one treats of the special 

 objects of the Expedition, the other of the personal adventures of those concerned in it. It is 

 only the former which finds permanent record in the transactions of Scientific Societies ; the 

 latter too often remains unwritten. 



This little work must be regarded as one side of the history of one step, and derives its 

 interest from its truthfulness as a record of an attempt to solve a great problem, viz., the 

 Distance 0/ the Earth from the Sun.
