Writing as a religious traveller, it has been my chief objective to note those points in the Life and History of Ancient Egypt, which serve to illustrate its connection with the Religion and Book of God. Herein, I have had occasion to touch upon its Chronology, Mythology, Ritual, and Civilization; not, indeed, for the purpose of a scientific investigation, but simply with a view to the practical vindication of the Bible or the general elucidation of Christian truth."
