The author presents 20 Egyptian texts, nine of which were taken from monuments inscribed with the hieroglyphic character and eleven are transcripts into hieroglyphics from hieratic texts, divided them into words, wrote transliterations of them and made a complete vocabulary. In dividing the words, he was guided by the wish to make them easily distinguishable and by transliterating them, he followed the old system sanctioned by Birch, Lepsius and others. With the view of helping the beginner, an English version of a few of the texts has been added and it is hoped that these may smooth the way and lead the reader to the perusal of other texts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
