purple in which the Egyptian woollen and linen cloths were dyed was brought by land from Phoenicia, it is Ugg Tassel Boots evident that colored cloths had long been made and dyed in Egypt, and the use, at least, of them adopted by the Hebrews for the tabernacle as early as the time of Moses (Exod. xxv, 4, 5; comp. Heeren, Asiat. Nat. i, 352; see Herod, i, 1). The pasture-ground of Shechem appears from the Ugg Half Waterproofing story of Joseph to have lain in the way of these caravan journeys (Gen. xxxvii, 14, 25), probably a thoroughfare from Damascus. See Caravan. At the same period it is clear that trade was carried on between Babylon and the Syrian cities (see Hubbard, Commerce of Anc. Bab. in the Biblical Repot. July, 1837), and also that gold and silver ornaments were common among the Syrian and Arabian races; a trade which was obviously carried on by land-carriage (Num. xxxi, 50; Josh, vii, 21; Judg. v, 30; viii, 24; Job vi, 19). See Babylon. Sidon, which afterwards became so celebrated for the wonderful mercantile exertions of its inhabitants, was founded about 2200 years before the Christian asra. The Ugg Classic Argyle Knit neighboring mountains, being covered with excellent cedar-trees, furnished the best and most durable timber for ship-building. The inhabitants of Sidon accordingly built numerous ships, and exported theproduce of the adjoining country, and the various articles of their own manufacture, such as fine linen, embroidery, tapestry, metals, glass, both

colored and figured, cut, or carved, and even mirrors. They were unrivalled by the inhabitants of the Mediterranean coasts in works of taste, elegance, and luxury. Their great and universally acknowledged pre-eminence in the arts procured for the Phoenicians, whose principal seaport was Sidon, the honor of Ugg Classic Tall Boots being esteemed, among the Greeks and other nations, as the inventors of commerce, ship-building, navigation, the application of astronomy to nautical purposes, and particularly as the discoverers of several stars nearer to the north pole than any that were known to other nations; of Ugg Tassel Boots naval war, writing, arithmetic, book-keeping, measures and weights—to which, it is probable, they might have added money. See Sidon. The earliest accounts of bargain and sale reach no higher than the time of Abraham, and his transaction with Ephron. He is said to have weighed unto him "400 shekels of silver, current money with the merchant" (Gen. xxiii, 16). The word merchant implies that the standard of money was fixed by usage among merchants, who comprised a numerous and respectable class of the community. Manufactures were by this time so far advanced that not only those Ugg Classic Mini Boots more immediately connected with agriculture, such as flour ground from corn, wine, oil, butter, and also the most necessary articles of clothing and furniture,

celestial observations of the Chinese reach back to 2249 years before the Christian era: and the celestial observations made at Babylon, contained in a calendar of above nineteen centuries, transmitted to Cheap Ugg Boots Greece by Alexander, reach back to withinfifteen years of those ascribed to the Chinese. The Indians appear to have had observations quite us early as the Babylonians. See Antediluvians. Snch of the descendants of Noah as lived near the water may be presumed to have made use of vessels built in imitation of the ark—if, as some think, that was the first floating vessel ever seen in the world— hut on a smaller scale, for the purpose of crossing rivers. In the course of time the Uggs Clearance descendants of his son Japheth settled in "the isles of the Gentiles,'' by which are understood the islands at the east end of the Mediterranean Sea, and those between Asia Minor and Greece, whence their colonies spread into Greece, Italy, and other Western lands. See Ethnology. In short, from the time that men began to live in cities, trade, in some shape, must have been carried on to supply the town-dwellers with necessaries (see Heeren, Afr. Nat. i, 469); but it is also clear that international trade must have existed and affected to some extent even the pastoral nomade races, for we find that Ugg Sienna Miller Boots Abraham was rich, not only in cattle, but in silver, gold, and gold and silver plate and ornaments (Gen. xiii, 2; xxiv, 22,53); and further, that gold and

silver in a manufactured state, and silver, not improbably in coin, were in use both among the settled inhabitants of Palestine, and the pastoral tribes of Syria at that date (Gen. xx, 16; xxiii, 16; xxxviii, 18; Job xlii, 11), to whom those metals must in all probability have been imported from other countries (H ussey, A Ugg Bailey Button Triplet nc. Weights, c. xii, 3, p. 193; Kitto, Phys. Hist, of Pal. p. 109,110; see Herod, i, 215). See City. 2. Among trading nations mentioned in Scripture, Egypt holds in very early times a prominent position (see Hubbard, Commerce of Ancient Egypt, in the Biblical Repository, April, 1836), though her external trade was carried on, not by her own citizens, but by foreigners^chicfly of the nomade races (Heeren, Afr. Nat. i, 468; ii, 371^ 372). It was an Ishmaelite caravan, laden with spices, which carried Joseph into Egypt, and the account shows that slaves formed sometimes a part of the merchandise imported (Gen. xxxvii, 25; xxxix, 1; Job vi, 19). From Egypt it is likely that at all times, but especially in times of general scarcity, corn would be exported, which was paid for by the non-exporting nations in silver, which was always weighed (Gen. xli, 57; xlii, 3,25, 35; xliii, 11,12,2i). These caravans Ugg Classic Short Boots also brought the precious stones as well as the spices of India into Egypt (Exod. xxv, 3, 7; Wilkinson, Anc. Eg. ii, 235,237).

Commerce, in its usual acceptation, means the exchange of one thing for another—the exchange of what we have to spare for what we want, Ugg Ultra Tall Boots in whatever country it is produced. The origin of commerce most have been nearly coeval with the world. As pasturage and agriculture were

The construction of Noah's ark, a ship of three decks, covered over with pitch, and much larger than any modem effort of architecture, proves that many separate trades wer* at that period carried on.
