Author Description

Excerpt from Egypt's Place in Universal History, Vol. 5 of 5: An Historical Investigation in Five Books The difficulty of translating the Ritual, especially of certain chapters and sentences, is too well known to need any apology for doubts or corrections; and even single chapters have engaged the minute attention of distinguished Egyptologists. The present is the first attempt to give the whole as it is seen in the Turin copy, and to convey a general idea of this mystical, or it may almost be called magical, work.
