Modern Egypt: Its Witness to Christ; Lectures After a Visit to Egypt in 1883 (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Modern Egypt: Its Witness to Christ; Lectures After a Visit to Egypt in 1883 IT should be explained that the following Addresses are the reprint, almost verbatim, of Lectures delivered week by week to a mixed and fluctuating congrega tion of visitors and residents in a Northern watering place. Prepared without any view to their perma nent publication, in such scanty leisure as could be found in the pressure of ordinary parish work, they were printed each week by two local newspapers and even in their present less ephemeral form are nothing more, in style and substance, than a repro duction of what they were originally intended to be. This will, it is hoped, explain, and in part excuse, certain peculiarities of style and composition, largely due to their local and rhetorical colouring, of which the writer is very sensible.
