for those on the inscriptions at Tourah, Abouseir,
&c., already prepared for a third volume, which

my return from Egypt, and one or two other
papers relating to that country. I have also
great satisfaction in expressing my acknowledg-
ments for the kind assistance and attention, which
I have met with at the British Museum; and at
Oxford from Dr. Macbride, and Dr. Bandinel of the
Bodleian Library ; likewise at Eton College, par-
ticularly from the Rev. Mr. Coleridge, an ad-
vantage, for which I was chiefly indebted to the
late Rev. Mr. Wright; whose lamented death
has deprived me of a very old and much-respected
friend, and the Church and the College of a most
virtuous and distinguished ornament; a man pos-
sessed of the soundest judgment, and of great
literary attainments; dignified by the highest sense
of honour and of moral integrity; and inspired with
an ardent love for his country, and with undaunted
resolution to secure its liberties, and to promote
its prosperity, by maintaining inviolate its antient
laws and glorious constitution:

" Cui pudor, et justitise soror
IncoiTiipta fides, nudaque Veritas,
Quando ulluni invenient parena?"
