Author Description

Excerpt from Memoranda, Illustrative of the Tombs and Sepulchral Decorations In presenting the following remarks upon the mythological character of the Royal Egyptian Tomb, the Author feels no common apprehensions of being classed as presumptuous and pretending. He fully appreciates the danger and difficulty of coming forward with any explanation upon a subject that seems to he exclusively the province of the most elaborate learning; but he has only sought to explain the glimmering lights of history, by the aid of important recent discoveries, and thereby endeavour at eliciting truth upon a subject confessedly abstruse.
