Fallen Star or the History of a False Religion and a Dissertation on the Origin of Evil is a book written by E. L. Bulwer. The book is a work of fiction that explores the history of a false religion and the origin of evil. The story is set in a fictional world where a false religion has taken hold and is spreading rapidly. The protagonist of the story is a young man who sets out to uncover the truth about the religion and its origins. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters, including a wise old man, a beautiful woman, and a group of rebels who are fighting against the religion. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is a narrative of the protagonist's journey, while the second part is a dissertation on the origin of evil. In this dissertation, Bulwer explores the philosophical and theological implications of evil and argues that it is a necessary part of the human experience. Overall, Fallen Star or the History of a False Religion and a Dissertation on the Origin of Evil is a thought-provoking and engaging work of fiction that explores complex philosophical and theological themes.The author has shown how easily religion's votaries were ensnared, deceived, and mentally bound in a labyrinth of falsehood and error. The history of the origin of one religion will, with slight alterations, serve to describe them all. Their claim to credence rests on the exhibition of miracles which are a violation of the laws of nature. If religions were founded on the demonstrated truths of science, there would be no mystery, no supernaturalism, no miracles, no skepticism, no false religion. We would have only verified truths and demonstrated facts for the basis of our belief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This volume exhaustively discusses the details of mummies in Egyptian society. Preservation of the body was the chief end and aim of every Egyptian who wished to attain everlasting life. It is to the cult of the dead, the predominant feature of which was the preservation of the mummy, that we owe most of our knowledge of the Egyptians for a period of about 5,000 years. Egypt lives again through its dead and Budge gives the reader a complete picture of mummies and their history. Illustrated.
