First published in 1882, this fascinating volume is a reprint of various vintage articles on "Cities of Egypt" mentioned in the Bible. "The Cities of Egypt" will appeal to those with an interest in Egyptian history and mythology, and it is not to be missed by the discerning collector of allied literature. Reginald Stuart Poole (1832 - 1895) was an English numismatist, archaeologist, and orientalist whose best work is arguably his contributions to Encyclopædia Britannica on the subjects of on Egypt, Hieroglyphics and Numismatics. He also worked on "Smith's Dictionary of the Bible", and was "Keeper of Coins" at the British Museum.
