Osiris And The Egyptian ResurrectionBy E. A. Wallis Budge,M.A., Litt.D., F.S.A.Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities in theBritish Museum2 vols. Frontispiece in Color. With nearly 200 Illustrations, after Drawings from Egyptian Papyri and Monuments.“These two massive volumes give evidence of thorough and careful scholarship.... It may well be believed that Dr. Budge has spoken the final word upon the religions of Egypt.... The magnificent series of illustrations drawn from original sources, together with numerous original hieroglyphic texts with illustrative translations, add immeasurably to the value of the work.”—Boston Transcript.“These two splendid volumes, opulently illustrated, are of large interest to students of comparative religions. It is the signal merit of Dr. Budge that he has developed, as no other scholar has done, the relations between this ancient Egyptian religion and the beliefs of modern peoples in the heart of the African continent—peoples who were apparently far remote from ancient Egyptian influence.”—N. Y. Outlook.“The subject is in itself fascinating and Dr. Budge, with his authoritative scholarship, has done full justice to it. The work is the result of great toil and represents great learning. The illustrations are excellent.”—London Times.Send for Descriptive CircularNew York G. P. Putnam’s Sons London
