Abstract
EVERYONE knows that recent archæological research has brought to light a vast number of facts which are directly or indirectly connected with ancient Hebrew history. The object of the author of the present work is to set forth the more important of these facts, and to explain their significance. He deals with the results of exploration in Egypt, Palestine, and Mesopotamia; and he has a chapter on Jerusalem, with regard to the topography of which he has been led to conclusions different from those of other writers. The book has been prepared for the benefit of persons “who have no time to follow the course of exploration, and no taste for technical details” ; and readers of this class will find in it much that will be to them both new and interesting. The value of the text is increased by good maps, plans, and other illustrations.
