Excerpt from The Historic Exodus
And, indeed, on the Continent my book has everywhere met with the kindest appreciation.
I wish to record my thanks and appreciation of the letters which I have received from many of the most distinguished scholars in regard to my former lx)ok. Among these have been: Professor C. H. W. Johns of Cambridge, Professors D. S. Margoliouth and S. R. Driver of Oxford, Dr. E. A. Wallis Budge of the British Museum, Professor Ad. Erman of Berlin, Professor Fritz Hommel of Munich, Professor P. Rost of Konigsbcrg (Pr.), Professor J. A. Knudtzon of Christiania, Professor Ernst Andersson of Upsala, Professor Knut Tallqvist of Helsingfors, Professor Le P. Ronzevalle of Beyrouth, M. F. Thurcau-Dangin, of Paris, and Professor C. Fosscy of the College de France. I am especially grateful to those of this number who have olTcred me their suggestions.
Many of my conclusions, which seemed astonishing at the time of publication, have now been generally accepted by the scholarly world. I do not mean to imply that it was entirely because of my book that these conclusions have been reached. I only state that scholars have reached the same results. It is some gratification to feel, however, that I was first in the field. For example, the date for Sargon of Akkad, which I placed ca. 2550 B. C., has since been placed by Eduard Meyer at the same date.
