(London: 1832), 20 (1841:Nov.) p.507 [British Periodicals II]

Sir, I wish to attract your attention to the "Antiquities of Egypt," recently
[1841] published by the Religious Tract Society. That volume contains a
convenient epitome of the present state of Egyptology, compiled from the works
of Champollion, Rosellini, and other sources; combined with some needless
interspersions* of the divinity which that [p. 508] society favours.... [p. 510,
