ABSTRACT
Her closing lectures were delivered in Boston on March 24th, 25th and 26th, respectively, on the'' Literature and Religion of the Ancient Egyptians," "Queen Hatasu and the Women of Ancient Egypt," and "The Art of the Novelist." The prospectus of these final lectnres was got up in the form of a 80UtJtmir with a portrait of Miss Edwards on the cover, and a summary of the tour from which we find that for twenty consecutive weeks except Christmas week, Miss Edwards has given six lectures a week. During that time she has visited nearly all the New England States, New York, Pensylvania, Ohio, Indiana, lllinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Amongst the principal cities ""isited where two or more lectures were given were New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, WB;Shingto~, ~ost~, New Haven, Hartford, Cleveland, ChiCago, Cmmnnati, Detroit, Milwaukee, St~ Paul and Minneapolis. AI .. together her friends reckon that Miss Edwards has traversed 15,000 miles, and addressed 100,000 people, giving great impetus to the cause of Egyptian exploration and research. We regret to add that an unfortunate accident befell Miss Edwards at Columbus in Ohio about a month before her departure, when she fell and broke her arm. Notwithstanding this she lectured that same day, and did not break any subsequent engagements, a determination to brave pain and inconvenience, which we much fear· has caused, and continues to cause Miss Edwards much suffering, after an otherwise so highly successful tour.
