Scarcely two years have passed since I published, in this series, my Ancient Chronology, Part I. In that vol ume I treated biblical chronology solely on the basis of dates furnished by the Bible, taking them at their face value, and without any inquiry either into the age of the documents in which they Occurred, or into their historicity. I promised then that these questions would be taken up in a future volume, to be called side-lights on Biblical Chronology. This is that volume. It has been found advisable to confine it more closely to the Exodus than was originally purposed, and consequently the title has been changed, the more closely to fit the contents.
