Excerpt from Short Egyptian Grammar The state of affairs in connection with English text books of the Egyptian language is not more satisfactory than that of the German. Professor Breasted's trans lation of the first edition of Erman's grammar is long since exhausted and outgrown; and Budge's and Murray's introductory books, however useful they may have been, cannot be considered a substitute. Therefore, I have gladly accepted Professor Mercer's kind offer to trans late my little Introduction; and students, as well as I, will be thankful for his labour of love. May Professor Mercer be permitted to see his work crowned with success! America and England have many first rate Egyptian archaeologists, but compara tively few Egyptian philologists; and accordingly the attention of wider circles has been directed more toward excavations and antiquities than toward Egyptian liter ature. It would be a real delight for German Egyptology, if it could see its philological results made serviceable to the same wider circles, and if thereby the general presentation of the intellectual life of Egypt could be disseminated in a desirable manner.
