By P. LE PAGE RENOUF.
(The Hibbert Lectures for 1879.)

One volume, 12mo,$1.50

M. Le Page Renouf’s great reputation as an Egyptologist led to his selection to deliver the second course of the already celebrated Hibbert series. His lectures are the fit companions of Professor MÜller’s, both in learning and in interest. The glimpses laboriously gained by the aid of long undeciphered hieroglyphics into one of the most mystical and profound of all the ancient beliefs, have always had a special fascination; and the time has now come when it is possible to join their results into a fairly complete picture. Done as this is by M. Renouf, with a certain French vividness and clearness, it has a very unusual, and, indeed, unique interest.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

“The narrative is so well put together, the chain of reasoning and inference so obvious, and the illustration so apt, that the general reader can go through it with unabated interest.”—Hartford Post.

“No one can rise from reading this book, in which, by the way, the author is careful about drawing his conclusions, without having increased respect for the religion of ancient Egypt, and hardly less than admiration for its ethical system.”—The Churchman.

“These lectures are invaluable to students of Egyptology, and as the religion of ancient Egypt stands alone and unconnected with other religions, except those which have been modified by it, itself being apparently original and underived, they should be highly interesting to all students of religious history.... It is impossible in a brief notice to convey an adequate idea of Professor Renouf’s admirable lectures.”—N. Y. World.

“The present work forms a remarkably intelligent and acutely critical contribution to the history of the origin and growth of religion, as illustrated by the religion of ancient Egypt. As a specialist, Professor Renouf is able to bring forth much information not ordinarily accessible to the general reader, and this he does in such a carefully digested form as to make the work entertaining and instructive in the highest degree.”—Boston Courier.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

“In this magnificent volume we have finally the story of Dr. Schliemann’s last and most important discoveries. He has been the most fortunate of archÆological explorers; for even a greater luck than rewarded him in the Troad has fallen to his portion in Argolis. * * * We suspect that the final verdict of scholars will that Dr. Schliemann has actually discovered the remains of the man, some part of whose history, at least, is preserved in the Agamemnon of Homer and Æschylus.”—The N. Y. Tribune.

“Dr. Schliemann’s book is worth all the prolegomens and commentaries upon Homer that have been written since the revival of learning.”—The Boston Globe.

“The interest of the work is not confined to either England or America. Every enlightened nation will welcome it, for it opens up a new world to the modern generation. No work of the time has attracted wider attention.”—Boston Post.

“This splendid volume is a museum of itself which every lover of history and classical literature will feel that he must possess, and which any intelligent reader is competent to understand and enjoy by means of its abundant and truly splendid illustrations.”—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser.

“Dr. Schliemann has made the most important contribution of the present century to Greek archÆology.”—The Nation.

“We commend the volume, with its admirable typography and multitudinous illustrations, to the attention of our readers, assuring them that they will find it possessed of a rare and enduring interest.”—Boston Journal.

“We add our testimony in saying that a copy of MycenÆ is necessary to the library of every scholar, and—which is no mean praise—that the printing and illustrations of this work are worthy of the matter.”—Baltimore Gazette.

One Volume, Crown 8vo, $2.50.

This volume describes with extraordinary vividness and spirit the religious and moral condition of the Pagan world, the rise and spread of Christianity, its conflict with heathenism, and its final victory. There is no work that portrays the heroic age of the ancient church with equal spirit, elegance, and incisive power. The author has made thorough and independent study both of the early Christian literature and also of the contemporary records of classic heathenism.

CRITICAL NOTICES.

“It is easy to see why this volume is so highly esteemed. It is systematic, thorough, and concise. But its power is in the wide mental vision and well-balanced imagination of the author, which enable him to reconstruct the scenes of ancient history. An exceptional clearness and force mark his style.”—Boston Advertiser.

“One might read many books without obtaining more than a fraction of the profitable information here conveyed; and he might search a long time before finding one which would so thoroughly fix his attention and command his interest.”—Phil. S.S. Times.

“Dr. Uhlhorn has described the great conflict with the power of a master. His style is strong and attractive, his descriptions vivid and graphic, his illustrations highly colored, and his presentation of the subject earnest and effective.”—Providence Journal.

“The work is marked for its broad humanitarian views, its learning, and the wide discretion in selecting from the great field the points of deepest interest.”—Chicago Inter-Ocean.

“This is one of those clear, strong, thorough-going books which are a scholar’s delight.”—Hartford Religious Herald.
