Excerpt from Biblia, Vol. 7: Devoted to Biblical Archaeology and Oriental Research; April, 1894-March, 1898 We are not ignorant of the boast of certain scholars that the new science of Egyptian grammar as it has been created by the German grammatical school in the last fifteen years does not yet exist in English. Possibly not. And possibly the statement that it has been created is true. For it may be gravely questioned if any ancient Egyptian scholar would have recognized it. It undoubtedly is the result of research and ingenuity. It cannot but be the admir ation of German erudition. But the value will be doubted by practical English students. And by English of course is meant those of the English tongue, Americans included. They do not care greatly for grammatical systematizing, except so far as it enables them to read and understand the wonderful ancient litera ture. There are many fine English scholars who would find it difficult to parse a single sentence according to the rules of Lindley Murray, but who nevertheless are well acquainted with the use of their own wonderful tongue. We are not so sure of the value of mastering an ingenious system of complicated grammatical forms. Our great object is to apprehend the meaning of what is written. If we can get at that we are satisfied. Let it not be thought that we undervalue erudition, or fail to see the excellence of Dr. Erman's work. But we are interested when looking at these three grammars at noting how characteristic they are of the peculiarities of national scholarship. Possibly to German thinkers the Berlin grammar towers above the others as the great pyramid over the small ones. We prefer the work in our language. Nevertheless we thank Dr. Erman for his work and have been much profited by going through it. Now our great need is a thoroughly good English Hieroglyphic Lexicon.
