taken, is derived from the Egyptian words shir bon, that is, 'the lake of bad salt, salt of bad quality.'
With regard to the present state of the whole question, Dr. Brugsch insists on the absolute necessity of a survey of the region from the east of the Delta to the frontier of Palestine. If I could afford the means,' he writes, 'I would go and examine the district anew, and make excavations on the sites. I feel sure of finding on them ancient remains, and I should be able to solve once for all this most interesting question of the Exodus. But whoever may undertake or be charged with these researches ought to know: (1) the monumental geography of this part of Lower Egypt; (2) the hieroglyphic writing, so as to be able to read the texts that he might discover; (3) the Arabic language, to avoid being ill informed by the Bedouins who inhabit those parts. Perhaps one of your learned societies engaged in Biblical researches would devote the small sum needful to accomplish this object, by sending one of its members to explore this region anew. For my part, I would willingly place myself at his disposal, to serve as his guide and interpreter as occasion might arise.'
[The question of the Exodus is not yet solved,' wrote Dr. Brugsch when he began to communicate these Additions,' in the midst of which he was interrupted by dangerous illness; but one remark as to its present position must not be withheld. Whatever may be the ultimate verdict of Biblical, historical, and geographical criticism (for the question involves all three), we cannot but observe the remarkable difference in the methods pursued by Dr. Brugsch and others. Starting from the assumption that the 'passage' took place at or about the head of the Gulf of Suez, they feel back for probable sites for the stations of the journey, if haply they may find them.' He alone begins at the beginning, namely the starting-point at Rameses in the field of Zoan, identified with Tanis by overwhelming proofs; and he follows the march along the well-known road marked by the stations which are determined each by independent geographical evidence, to whatever end this strict critical method may lead him, though his guide, like that followed by the Israelites, may have its obscure as well as its bright side, trusting to the issue of all honest discussion-Lux e tenebris.'-ED.]
