 was the sister of Amenophis, whom she succeeded. If he had 

 stated this clearly, the reader might have judged for himself, 

 whether such a coincidence was or was not sufficient to sup- 

 port the chronology of Manetho ; which was, however^ by no 

 means in want of such support: in the article Egypt, for 

 example, Manetho's chronology of this dynasty is fully 

 adopted : and the same ' cartouche' is read Thutlimosis, which 

 Mr. Champollion, after all his parade, still admits to be 

 Thuthmosis : nor is there a difference of half a century in the

 established in the article Egypt, that the name contained that 

 of Thoth, the Egyptian Hermes, and for this reason it was con- 

 sidered as better established than any other of the names of 

 the Pharaohs. Mr. Champollion had never discovered this 

 for many years afterwards : and yet we have been told by an 

 Englishman in the last Quarterly Journal, that to Mr. Cham- 

 pollion the greater part of the discoveries made by the inter- 

 pretation of hieroglyphics are owing !

 may serve to keep alive in the public mind a subject, from 

 which I cannot yet help foreboding useful results, in spite of the 

 neglect and opposition which it has experienced from every 

 person, I believe I may safely say, to whom it has been pro- 

 posed, except Mr. Arnold. I am perfectly safe in saying, that, 

 with this sole exception, every individual to whom the facts 

 have been described, and the experiment proposed, have replied 

 by doubts, or. cavils, or objections of some kind j many, by
