ANCIENT EGYPTIAN HISTORY PRINTED BY SPOTTISWOODE AND CO.,
NEW-STREET SQUARE LONDON OUTLINES OF ANCIENT EGYPTIAN HISTORY BY
AUGUSTE MARIETTE TRANSLATED AND EDITED, WITH NOTES, BY MARY
BRODRICK SECOND EDITION LONDON JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET 1892
TRANSLATORS PREFACE FOR some time past I have been asked, both in
England and abroad, to recommend a short history of Ancient Egypt,
to which my reply has in variably been Mariettes Apergu There is no
history so concise or so comprehensive though, as its name says, It
is but an outline. To bring it within the reach of those who
cannot, or who do not care to read it in the original, and so to
make it better known to both the English and American public, has
been my object in translating it. In doing so, I have endeavoured
to give the entire sense of Mariettes words in readable English,
rather than in an elabo rate word-for-word translation. The book
having been written in lecture form for the use of the Egyptian
schools in Cairo, It will be found that here and there sentences,
having particular reference to that fact, have been omitted or
adapted also that 6 TQtotHnes of Ancient Egyptian History dates
have been given according to our era, and not only as before or
after the Hegira, which is, of course, the modern Egyptian mode of
reckoning while statements which are now proved to be false or
doubtful have been omitted. In some places, where the progress of
events or fresh discoveries, have made them necessary, notes have
been added and special notice of the finding of the royal mummies
at Der-el-Bahari is also given. I wish most gratefully to
acknowledge the kind ness of Mr. Le Page Renouf, Keeper of Egyptian
and Assyrian Antiquities in theBritish Museum, who has read this
work both in manuscript and proof, and has given me much help and
many valuable suggestions. It must not, however, be supposed that
this makes him in any way respon sible for the opinions of the
learned author. M. BRODRICK. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION THE kind
reception accorded to this little book, together with the fact that
the Apergu is now out of print, encourages me to venture on a
Second Edition. To it has been added a sketch map of the Dynasties,
a list of the principal Cartouches, a short notice of the Hyksos,
an Index, and such notes and corrections as the progress of
scientific research has rendered necessary. M. B. London, 1892.
