Book Description

Excerpt from In a Glass Darkly, Vol. 2 of 3 The Essay, Mortis Imago, will occupy as nearly as I can, at present, calculate, two volumes, the ninth and tenth, of the collected papers of Doctor Martin Hesselius. This Essay, I may remark, in conclusion, is very curiously enriched by citations, in great abundance, from mediaeval verse and prose romance, some of the most valuable of which, strange to say, are Egyptian. I have selected this particular statement from among many cases equally striking, but hardly, I think, so effective as mere narratives, in this irregular form of publication, it is simply as a story that I present it.
