Excerpt from The Palaeography of Greek Papyri The substance of the following treatise was originally written as a dissertation for the Conington Prize in 1897, and I had at first intended to defer its publication for some time, in view of the accessions of new material which the excavations conducted each year in Egypt are continually bringing to light.
