A New Edition, with Additions by the late Author. Raised and Edited 

 By SAMUEL BIRCH, LL.D. 



With Coloured Plates and 500 Illustrations. 3 Vols. Medium Svo. 84J. 



"The present edition has been prepared from the notes and manuscript which the late Sir 

 Gardner Wilkinson left behind, with the addition of fresh matter contributed by the Editor. 

 Very little of the original text has been omitted, and only those statements and opinions which 

 the progress of science no longer regards as useful or correct ; while new views and facts 

 acquired by the progress of Egyptian research have been embodied in notes or inserted in 

 the text. 



" The great merit of the acute observation of the Author, and the exhaustive illustrations of 

 Egyptian manners and customs as depicted by the monuments, have made the present work a 

 text-book on the subject, both for the general public and individual students ; its chief 

 excellence consists in the great trouble which the author took in explaining and comparing 

 Egyptian and Greek notions." — Editor's Preface. 



ILLUSTRATED EDITION OE 



The Wild Sports and Natural History 

 of the Highlands of Scotland. 



By CHARLES ST. JOHN. 



The Illustrations by Whymper, Corbould, Collins, Elwes, and Harrison Weir. 

 With 70 Woodcuts of Birds, Beasts, Views, &-~c. Crown 8vo. 15s. 



Though this work is admitted to take rank with White's "Selborne" and Walton's 

 "Angler," no attempt has hitherto been made to illustrate the scenes, anecdotes, and feres 

 natures so graphically described by Mr. St. John. This want — to which attention has often 

 been called — it is the object of the present edition to supply. Great pains have been taken in 

 illustrating this edition, accurately to enter into the spirit, and, where possible, to depict the 

 actual scene of the events described in the text. 



"To the naturalist who loves to know the habits of an animal in its native haunts, this 

 book must be a treasure. Every picture in the book is a masterpiece in its way." — Nature. 



Researches into the Early History of 

 Mankind, and the Development of Civilization.

" It would be impossible to give any idea of the interesting series of facts brought together 

 n an eminently suggestive manner in this valuable book." — 1 1 'esti/iins/cr Review.
