SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE.
HISTORICAL CHURCH ATLAS.
Illustrating the History of Eastern and Western Christendom until the Reformation, and that of
the Anglican Communion until the present day. By Edmund McClure, M.A. Containing
18 Coloured Maps, and some 50 Sketch-Maps in the Text. Demy 4to, cloth boards, leather
back, Ids.
This Atlas is intended to indicate some of the stages of the Church's expansion, ami at the same time to shoiv briefly the
interdependence of ecclesiastical and secular history. The information given on the maps has been necessarily limited by
their size ami number, but the main features of the spread of the Christian faith have been, it is hoped, broadly traced,
and the allied changes in political geography sufficiently depicted.
THE ANCIENT HEBREW TRADITION AS ILLUSTRATED BY THE
MONUMENTS. A Protest against the Modern School of Old Testament Criticism. By Dr.
Fritz Hommel, Professor of the Semitic Languages in the University of Munich. Translated
from the German by Edmund McClure, M.A., and Leonard Crossle. With Map. Large
post 8 vo, buckram boards, os.
“ Under the weight of Dr. Hommel’s cumulative evidence, the latest fortress of the ‘ Higher Criticism ’ will have to be
promptly evacuated or surrendered at discretion. The book has been admirably translated by Mr. McClure and his
coadjutor.”—Daily Chronicle.
••We are profoundly grateful to Dr. Hommel for work whose results will do much to reassure many a timid and
distressed believer.”— Record,
“We can recommend Dr. Hommel’s well-argued and deeply interesting book to the careful consideration of all Biblical
students.”—Cte/ord Review.

This is a companion volume to “ The Dawn of Civilization,” and contains the history of the ancient peoples of the East
from the XIVth Egyptian Dynasty to the end of the Ramesside period. This interval covers the sojourn of the-
Israelites in Egypt and their Exodus therefrom. The recent discovery of an Egyptian stele mentioning the Israelites
gives special interest to this volume, where the matter is discussed with his usual acumen by the author.
“The translation by M. L. McClure is in both cases excellent. Professor Maspero’s presentation of the new learning
is at once eminently popular and attractive.”— Times.
“ The author has throughout attempted to reproduce for us the daily life of the various peoples of whom he treats, and
in this he has succeeded admirably.”—Academy.
