These researches derive special importance from the light which they cast upon the Old Testament records, especially upon the Mosaic history. An incidental, nu designed, but most valuable proof is thus drawn from witnesses that cannot lie, in favour of the trustworthiness of those records. Paintings, numerous and beautiful beyond conception, as fresh and perfect as if finished only yesterday. Exhibit before our eyes the truth of what the Hebrew lawgiver wrote, almost five thousand years ago. The authenticity of the documents of our faith thus rests, not on manuscripts and written records alone, but the hardest and most enduring substances in nature have added their unsuspecting testimony.
