Praise for the Print Edition

A beautiful book, in which Mr. Brown makes the story of Israel’s wanderings to reflect and re-present the history of the human soul.

—The Eclectic Review

The work consists of a series of sermons, and from the mere word sermons, we might be led to expect something rather heavy, dry, and didactic; but they are so illustrated by interesting references to ancient history, and works of modern travel, and scientific research, and the whole are written in such a spirited, lively, and eloquent manner, that the attention is soon aroused on beginning to read them, and kept firmly riveted to the end. But the crowning value of the whole book is, that such a number of beautiful thoughts are constantly breaking out, and more profound views of truth, theological, psychological, and moral presented, that we cannot but consider the work as one of the many destined to prepare the way of the higher and brighter religious era beginning to dawn.

—The Monthly Observer

With the great ability which characterizes all which he writes, and with a peculiar felicity and beauty in the spiritual perception and the forcible unfolding of Divine truth, here he inculcates the great lessons of the exodus and pilgrimage of the children of Israel. Mr. Brown possesses a rare sagacity for the discernment of events in their significance and relations.
