Book Description

Excerpt from The Recent Archaic Discovery of Ancient Egyptian Mummies at Thebes To Comprehend Christianity fully, in all its grandeur and divine perfection, a knowledge of the history of the time of its origin and of that which preceded it will be found a useful, if not a necessary assistance. Ancient Egypt is the cradle of the religion of the Western World, and all people are interested in the nature and development of the early faith of mankind; for not only the Christian but likewise the Jewish Religion, is a direct outcome of the original faith. Faith, Hope, and Charity are manifested at every step; and, not least amongst human virtues - Love is inculcated towards all mankind. Some such train of thought as this suggested to my mind the subject of my First Lecture, addressed to the Young Men's Christian Association, of which I have the honour to be Vice-President.
