Progress of Egyptology.
27
In November, 1892, the last of Lepsius' conrpanions in his great
expedition to Egypt passed away. Fifty years ago Mr. J. W. Wild
accompanied the expedition as a volunteer as far as Cairo. There,
however, he soon abandoned the more ancient monuments and devoted
himself for professional purposes to the study of the rich remains of
Saracenic architecture in the Egyptian capital. After his return to
England in 1848, Mr. Wild designed many important public buildings
and churches, but suffered severely in health. His last days were spent
in the congenial atmosphere of the Soane Museum in Lincoln's Inn
Fields, known to Egyptologists as the resting-place of the famous
alabaster coffin of Seti I., discovered by Belzoni.
We regret to learn that Professor Georg Ebers is compelled by weak
health to give up the chair of Egyptology, which he has so long and
honourably filled, at the University of Leipzig. Georg Ebers is equally
well known as a writer of novels and popular works on Egypt, and as
the genial instructor and encourager of students, not to mention his
scientific works and the great papyrus that bears his na'__ A —------'
