Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Professor Sir W. M. Flinders Petrie (1853-1942) held the first
chair of Egyptology in the U.K. and excavated at many of the most
important archaeological sites in Egypt. His most famous discovery
to be that of the Merneptah Stele. This volume contains tales from
the Fourth through the Twelfth Dynasties.
Begun in 1874 and published in 1880, a detailed survey of the
stones of Stonehenge was one of the earliest works of William
Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), the energetic archaeologist
who is remembered as a pioneering Egyptologist. It is reissued here
alongside Sir Richard Colt Hoare's 1829 analysis of the barrows
surrounding Stonehenge, thus giving modern readers a valuable
two-part snapshot of nineteenth-century investigations into this
famous site. Hoare (1758-1838), a Wiltshire baronet with a keen
interest in archaeology and topography, conducted excavations on
the site of the stones in the early 1800s, which were later
referred to by Petrie, whose measurements were much more accurate
(up to one tenth of an inch). Petrie's numbering system for the
stones, as set out in this publication, is still in use today. Many
of his groundbreaking works in Egyptology are also reissued in the
Cambridge Library Collection.
