In Two Parts: I. On Early Civilizations. II. On EthnicAffinities. By George Rawlinson, m.a., CamdenProfessor of Ancient History, Oxford, and Canon ofCanterbury, Author of The Four Great Monarchies,etc. With Maps. Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d., cloth boards. The real value of the book consists in the outspoken and vigorousvindication of the doctrine of the absolute infallibility of Scripture,and in the fact that its author is neither a narrow-minded theologian,nor an intolerant bigot, but, on the contrary, a muscular Christian,and, if we may so put it, a free-thinking Englishman. The book is agood book, and it will do good. It will strengthen the weak, and itwill inspire the strong with the courage of their convictions.—Oxford University Herald. Jt- iiiiH

PREFACE. This little work has originated in a series ofpapers written for the Sunday at Home in theyears 1879 and 1881, based upon Lectures de-livered in the University of Oxford, from thechair which I have the honour to hold. Duringthe twenty-one years that I have occupied thatchair, I have continually felt more and more thatthe real history of nations is bound up v^ith thehistory of their rehgions, and that, unless theseare carefully studied and accm-ately known, theinner Hfe of nations is not apprehended, nor istheir history understood. I have also felt that the desire to generahzeupon the subject of ancientreligionsofanc00rawl
