Note

The History of the Hieroglyphics of the Bible (1894) presents a unique 19th-century perspective on interpreting biblical symbols and allegories, often referred to as "hieroglyphics" in the spiritual sense. Written during a time of growing interest in both religious typology and symbolic theology, the book explores how the figures, images, and metaphors in Scripture convey deeper truths about God, morality, and prophecy. Its 1894 publication reflects the era's fascination with both ancient texts and hidden wisdom, offering a rich, sometimes mystical approach to understanding the Bible’s layered meanings beyond the literal.
