Valuable Map for Bible Students.
By Editor
We have received from the publishers (Franke & Schneider, 529 Fifteenth Street, Washington, D. C.), a copy of a “Map of Egypt, the Sinaitic Peninsula, and the Promised Land,” with a “Companion,” giving historical and descriptive notes of the principal places on the map. We have looked over this map with more than ordinary interest. The encampments of the children of Israel, on their journeyings through Arabia, are marked, named, and numbered, and the notes give information of value. The most accurate Government surveys have been employed, and we think the following words from the introduction are fully justified:— “The annotations appended are alphabetically arranged, and will prove a valuable aid in studying the map. For the superficial student they invest with interest places which to him were geographical names and nothing more. They give a summary of Scripture history, together with interesting topography of the sacred localities represented on the map, to obtain which would otherwise require the study of many books. The more advanced student will find them a welcome aid as a summary of the latest and most valuable researches.” We shall draw from these notes for the interest of our readers as soon as our time and labors will permit.
