Author Description

Excerpt from Ancient Egypt, 1843: A Series of Chapters on Early Egyptian History, Archeology, and Other Subjects Connected With Hieroglyphical Literature As the matter, spread over the following pages, was originally prepared for delivery in oral Lectures, it has required some labor to change it into its present form and for suggestions on this point, as well as for many literary essentials, I owe my best thanks to my friend, E. S. Gould, esq., of this city. In their pristine shape of Lectures, they were, during December and January last, listened to with much indulgence, by an intel lectual and cultivated audience, in Boston, and spoken of with favor by the Press of that city.
