Book excerpt: 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 excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Account of the Ancient Egyptians, Vol. 1 of 2 The present account of the "Ancient Egyptians" is chiefly an abridgment of that written by me in 1836; to which I have added other matter, in consequence of my having revisited Egypt, and later discoveries having been made, since that time. 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 properly 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Priests of Ancient Egypt One becomes accustomed to seeing, in the ancient Egyptians, 'the most scrupulously religious of all men.' But this statement does not suffice to offer the keys to the Pharaonic civilization; in fact it would be a great error to consider the Egyptians too close to ourselves. Nothing, without doubt, is more modern than these stone heads found in the mastabas,1 than the bust of Queen Nofretete; nothing more alive, human in a reassuring fashion, than the scenes of daily life pictured in the tombs of Saqqara or 'of Thebes; nothing perhaps so directly familiar as the popular stories from the shores of the Nile. But beware of thinking that the ancient Egyptian was a man like us, that his civilization was basically analogous to ours, that his thinking was, in the progress of a world still imperfectly known, the beginning of modern thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egyptian Chronicles, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Harmony of Sacred and Egyption Chronology, and an Appendix on Babylonian and Assyrian Antiquities But first it may be proper to enter into some preliminary details, explaining how a remark which might have been made equally at Oxford, or at Rome, or wherever else one chanced to light upon the text which suggested it, and which might have been equally followed out to its con sequences by any classical scholar, however ignorant of Egyptian antiquities, came to be made in a boat on the Nile, so that the author while pursuing afterwards his discovery to its consequences was not under the disadvantage of being totally unacquainted with Egypt and its monuments, but had laid in the country itself a foundation to which it was easy to add from published works and from an inspection of the chief museums of Europe. At the same time the narrative now to be given will sufficiently account for all those short comings which will no doubt be detected by competent judges in what may be said on points of detail respecting the monuments and the results hitherto obtained from their study.
