Having returned to England, I began to prepare a new and englarged edition of those papers, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, whose large acquaintance with the monuments of Egypt, and with the science of Egyptian archaeology shewed him that much was wanting in my first essay, honoured me by expressing his desire that it should be improved in every way to the utmost of my ability . . . and that illustrations should be unsparingly added. Hence the present volume. Condition / Notes: This is a scarce first edition of this work. The antique volume is bound in half-leather with marbled paper covers.
