PREFACE.

account of M. Caviglia's excavations at the Sphinx
in 1816.

I beg leave to express my sincere acknowledg-
ments to Samuel Birch, Esq., Assistant in the An-
tiquarian department in the British Museum, and
Assistant-Secretary to the Archaeological Institute
at Rome, for his valuable Notes on the hieroglyphi-
cal inscriptions ; and also to the Rev. Mr. Coleridge
of Eton, for the kind assistance, which he has been
pleased to afford, respecting the Greek inscriptions
found near the Sphinx.

The remarks on the Egyptian army, and also
on the horses of Egypt and of Syria, are inserted,
because they are referred to in the former volumes.

As this volume completes the Work, I take the
opportunity of returning my best thanks to Mr.
Arundale, for the care and attention he has be-
stowed on the execution of the several plates.

Stoke, October 20,1842.
