Excerpt from A History of Art in Ancient Egypt, Vol. 1 The fact is that Schnaase follows a geographical order, which is very confusing in its results. To give but one example of its absurdity, he speaks of the Phoenicians before he has said a word of Egypt; now, we all know that the art of Tyre and Sidon was but a late reflection from that of Egypt; the work shops of those two famous ports were mere factories of cheap Egyptian art objects for exportation.

Book Description
Excerpt from Popular Account of the Ancient Egyptians, Vol. 1 of 2 I have here and there introduced some remarks relating to the Greeks, thinking that a comparison of the habits and arts of other people, with those of the Egyptians, may be interesting; and the impulse now given to taste in England has induced me to add some observations on decorative art, as well as on colour, form, and proportion, so well understood in ancient times. And as many of the ideas now gaining ground in this country, regarding colour, adaptability of materials, the non-imitation of natural objects for ornamental purposes, and certain rules to be observed in decorative works, have long been advocated by me, and pro perly belong to the subject of Egypt, I think the Opportunity well suited for expressing my opinion upon them while I rejoice that public attention has been invited to take a proper view of the mode of improving taste.

Book Description
The Religion of Ancient Egypt is a classic religious studies text by the great pioneering English egyptologist, W. M. Flinders Petrie. Before dealing with the special varieties of the Egyptians' belief in gods, it is best to try to avoid a misunderstanding of their whole conception of the supernatural. The term god has come to tacitly imply to our minds such a highly specialised group of attributes, that we can hardly throw our ideas back into the more remote conceptions to which we also attach the same name.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Egypt, Chaldea, Syria, Babylonia and Assyria, Vol. 1 Naturally, in progressive studies like those of Egyptology and Assyriology, a good many theories and conclusions must be tentative and provisional only. Discovery crowds so quickly on discovery, that the truth of to-day is Often apt to be modified or amplified by the truth of to-morrow. A single fresh fact may throw a wholly new and unexpected light upon the results we have already gained, and cause them to assume a somewhat changed aspect. But this is what must happen in all sciences in which there is a healthy growth, and archaeological science is no exception to the rule.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Egypt: From the Earliest Times to the Xvith Dynasty This history, however, does not aim at being a bibliography of the subject; nor has it seemed desir able to bring in theories or views which appear to have passed away, and not to need present attention. While endeavouring to notice everything that a student should bear in mind on each period, yet more Space has been given in proportion to new facts or new theories, pro and con, than to those which will be already familiar to persons who have read works on the subject. Similarly, in the illustrations, it has been sought to give such as are not commonly known, wherever it was suitable to do so. In this way this work is not only complete in itself, but may serve as a supplement, brought down to date, to the other histories that have appeared. It will be found to provide illustrations, later informa tion, and more chronological discussion than exists in the present histories of Brugsch, Wiedemann, or Meyer.

Book Description
Texts on the history of ancient Egypt span the period from the early prehistoric settlements of the northern Nile valley to the Roman conquest, in 30 BC. The Pharaonic Period dates from the 32nd century BC, when Upper and Lower Egypt were unified, until it fell to Macedonian rule in 332 BC. In 305 BC, Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great's generals, took the title of Pharaoh, and as Ptolemy I Soter ("Saviour") founded the Ptolemaic dynasty that ruled Egypt for nearly 300 years.

Book Description
Excerpt from Rameses, an Egyptian Tale, Vol. 1 of 3: With Historical Notes of the Era of the Pharaohs The characters of the youths were as different as their persons; and in uential as they became upon the destinies of their country, no less than on their own changeful and checkered course, may require some touches to develope; while the main springs will be traced more usefully, as they are drawn into operation, in their actions and future conduct. San bacon, the eldest, had passed the bounds of youth, and sighed to encounter the responsibility and reali ties of life. Born to the most elevated honours, secured also by the invariable laws and constitution 3 of the kingdom of the rank possessed by his ances tors, he saw the sphere of command and power ready for his occupancy; in exible and energetic, he could control the wavering and overawe the timid, while ardent and intrepid, he had the natural materials of the warrior and conqueror. His frame was of an iron mould, above the common stature, and athletic for an Egyptian: a forehead wide and bold, a countenance austere and highly majestic.
