The translations of the Egyptian hymns and religious texts printed
in this and the two following volumes form a representative
collection of the various compositions which the Egyptian inscribed
upon the walls of tombs and sarcophagi, coffins and funeral stelae,
papyri and amulets, etc., in order to ensure the well-being of
their dead in the world beyond the grave. These translations first
appeared in the third volume of my work on The Book of The Dead,
which was published under the title "The Chapters of Coming Forth
by Day" at the end of the year 1897, where they seemed to be a
necessary accompaniment to the edition of the hieroglyphic texts of
Theban Recension and the hieroglyphic vocabulary thereto. The
demand for that bulky and comparatively expensive work proved that
it filled a want, but soon after its appearance frequent requests
were made that the English translation might be issued in a smaller
and handier form.
