This book is intended to form an easy introduction to the study of
the Egyptian hieroglyphic inscriptions. It contains a short account
of the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics, and a sketch of the
hieroglyphic system of writing and of the general principles which
underlie the use of picture signs to express thought. The main
facts of Egyptian grammar are given in a series of short chapters,
and these are illustrated by numerous brief extracts from
hieroglyphic texts; each extract is printed in hieroglyphic type
and is accompanied by a transliteration and translation. Included
in this book is a lengthy list of hieroglyphic characters with
their values both as phonetics and ideograms.
