THE EGYPTIAN EXODUS.

(To tiie Editor^ Sir, — A quotation • fi^orn the Daily Mail in one of 'ybtir recent issiueer'sftaC- : es that some religious societies ' desire? to "investigate the ' inumhiy "said' to "be •that of the Pharoah of the exodus, believing it incompatible with ' lids drowning in the Red Sea. It ds no matter in this connection* whether .the correct Pharoah be found or not. Moses sums up the whole thus "Exodus XIV. 30 : Thus the Lord, saved Israel that day out of the hands of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyp-. tians dead upon the sea sihore." A plain statement that many dead were washed' ashore, as. is natural. The King's body would be .assiduously sought for and easily recognised by h.'s dress and signet xing. — I am, . &c., - H.
