The globe of the earth is so great that our armies would require five whole years to march around it." "O gods!" exclaimed Pentuer. "Does it not frighten thee, father, to think of such subjects?"

Between her and him I passed many hours of torment and of delight. I was in love; I was a coward, and I granted to him all that he demanded of me in regard to the political and historical aspect which the Earth that was at a later day to bear Clementine presented in the time of Abraham, of Menes, and of Deucalion.

The date of Menes given by Boeckh is 5702 B.C.; by Lenormant, 5004 B.C.; by Brugsch, 4455 B.C.; by Lepsius, 3852 B.C.; by Bunsen, 3623 or 3059 B.C.; E. Meyer makes 3180 B.C. the lowest possible date for Menes; 3233 B.C. is the date assigned by Duncker. It appears to be well ascertained that Egyptian civilization was in being at least as far back as about 4000 B.C.
