Author Description

Excerpt from Ancient Egypt: In the Light of Modern Discoveries The costliness of nearly all truly valuable works upon Ancient Egypt will prevent the owning; the very fullness of some others will prevent the reading; but, after the own ing and reading, there is much that manv can not be blamed for forgetting, while much remains which all should remember. The author of this work has long been a student of Egyp tian history and archaeology. He has studied the monuments and inscriptions in their native land, after visiting them in their exile in the museums of Great Britain and on the Conti nent, and has enjoyed what he knew upon the subject. After much study and repeated visits to Egypt for that purpose, the traveler will come home, as the author has, to find that; in going to Egypt, he left large treasures of. Egyptian knowledge behind him, in the books, essays, translations, and periodicals, as well as original monuments, which are already to be found throughout Europe, and, to some small amount, even in America.
