Book Description

Excerpt from The Land of Goshen and the Exodus It may perhaps be becoming in me to begin with a personal explanation to justify or excuse my boldness in venturing without a pass upon ground to which Egyptologists lay claim. I have trespassed once before, and alone, within their property along the shores and upon the waters of Lake Mœris. I mention alone, because I was then tenderly warned that, if I came again, I should do well to bring in my company "a man of peace who knows Greek and who has studied Egyptian antiquities;" to show me, I presume, the way along the beaten track, and to keep me from making little excursions off it on my own account. But I do not refer to the precedent of my previous act of trespass as my present justification, nor as an answer to the inevitable suggestion that if the blind lead the blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch.
