Side 83 - And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near ; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt...
Side 85 - And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, " Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering : of every man that giveth it willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering. And this is the offering which ye shall take of them ; gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats...

Side 342 - Malta is no longer sufficiently near the Levant to protect our trade and give timely support to Greece, Syria, and Egypt, in case of need ; particularly, keeping in view the change that will be effected in naval warfare by the application of steam. The same may be said of all the Ionian Islands, except Cerigo, which, however, does not possess a port that could contain a collier, much less shelter a fleet.
Side 198 - This organisation (which has since undergone some modification) was considered as the best calculated for the kind of warfare in which the Egyptian army was, in the first instance, likely to be engaged, each regiment forming as it were a small corps d'armee, that could be employed separately under its own colonel.
