PUBLISHERS' NOTE.

In the year 1894, Dr. Wallis Budge prepared for Messrs. Kegan Paul,
Trench, Trübner & Co. an elementary work on the Egyptian language,
entitled "First Steps in Egyptian," and two years later the companion

texts printed in it, and a full vocabulary. The success of these works

British Museum, prepared, on the same lines as the two books mentioned
