“M. Lenormant is not only a believer in revelation, but a devout confessor of what came by Moses as well as of what came by Christ. In this exploration of Chaldean, Babylonian, Assyrian and Phœnician tradition he discloses a prodigality of thought and skill allied to great variety of pursuit and diligent manipulation of what he has secured. He ‘spoils the Egyptians’ by boldly using, for Christian purposes, materials, which, if left unused, might be turned against the credibility of the Mosaic records. From the mass of tradition here examined it would seem that if these ancient legends have a common basis of truth, the first part of Genesis stands more generally related to the religious history of mankind, than if it is taken primarily as one account, by one man, to one people.”—_The New Englander._ [Illustration] _These books are for sale by all Booksellers, or will be sent, post-paid, on receipt of the price, by_ CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS, 743 & 745 Broadway, New York. * * * * * ATKIN & PROUT, Printers, 12 Barclay St., New York. * * * * * Transcribers Notes Obvious printer’s punctuation errors and omissions silently corrected.
