Author Description

Excerpt from Gallery of Antiquities: Selected From the British Museum In treating each branch, a preference will, of course, be given to the first authorities: thus, Egyptian Antiquities will be illustrated from the Monuments and Hieroglyphics of Egypt, not from the second-hand information of the Greeks, which the present state of hieroglyphical knowledge refutes or challenges. Hellenic remains will be also judged by Hellenism, and the labours of Continental Antiquaries brought before the British Public.
