Empires of the Bible/ Jones, Alonzo Trevier / (HB/1897-1904/B-/USED)

Recent research in Babylon and Egypt has brought to light many valuable and historical records that were inscribed in stone by the very men living in those ancient times. These records, and the Bible history of the same, are here woven together in one connected story. Another important feature of this work is the tracing, in a series of 21 maps, the course of those empires. The design of the book is unique, and every student either of the Bible or history, will find it valuable.
