About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1872 edition. Excerpt: ... SOME THOUGHTS ON THE PASSAGE OF THE RED SEA. A FRAGMENT. "Thou art the Lord the God, .. and didst see the affliction of our fathers in Egypt, and heardest their cry by the Rod Sea; and shewedst signs and wonders upon 1'haroah, and on all his servants, and on all the people of his lmiil; for Thou knewest that they dealt proudly against them.

As the black curtains fall in Kedar's tent, So fell the Eastern night as daylight went, And in a moment blindly clothed each face.

An earthen lamp, that stands upon the ground, Gleams into life, and kindling sheds around A fresh sweet scent, touch'd by a maiden's hand, Who once at dawn, in far Arabian land, Had gather'd manna on the desert sand. The murmur of the host is heard around, Deep as a summer sea--flowing, profound; Women speak softly, men pass in and out, For death is there, while all is life without. Dark...
