Historical Researches Into the Politics, Intercourse, and Trade of the Carthaginians, Ethiopians, and Egyptians, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Historical Researches Into the Politics, Intercourse, and Trade of the Carthaginians, Ethiopians, and Egyptians, Vol. 1

In presenting this second edition to the public I cannot refrain from expressing my grateful thanks for the kind reception which it gave the former. To make this more deserving of favour, I have prefixed to it a Translation of the Life of the Author, written by himself, together with a Postscript, bringing it down to the present time, which he has been so good as to add, at my desire, expressly for this edition. The work is further improved by a new Appendix, and by an Index. I regret that I have been unable, from the paging not being the same, to print off separate copies of the latter for the possessors of the former edition. To make the work still more perfect, the Translator of Wachsmuth's Antiquities has been kind enough to compare it with the German; and I must confess I have been surprised to find the errors I had left in it so few.

Since writing the above the publisher has been favoured with another communication from Professor Heeren, and with it a new Appendix, not before published, containing a comparison of that learned gentleman's views respecting the high antiquity of Egypt with those of Cbampollion and Rosellini.
