Author Description

Excerpt from Some Old Egyptian: Librarians The first of these papers was read at the meeting of the New York Library Association, held at Columbia University, September 28, 1911; the second contains matter necessarily omitted from the first paper from limitations of time. The papers are wholly from original sources in the sense that no statements are made on the authority of secondary sources and effort has been made to use only transla tions by acknowledged experts; it is, however, founded on translations, not on the original texts. A very brief ac count of the best or most accessible of the sources used is given in the appendix. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
