xn author's preface.
the Temple of Isis, at Dendera, will attract parti-
cular attention. The Author takes credit to him-
self for having followed the advice of a learned
antiquarian, the Count de Caylus, who exhorts
those who collect monuments of antiquity, to commu-
nicate them to the fublic, because their collection,
though it consist hit of a few articles, may -present
singularities not to he found in the most extensive ca-
hinets. The collection of drawings for this work,
contains, in fact, some very curious singularities.
Finally, nothing has been neglected that could
prevent these travels from sinking too far below
their subject, and the interest generally excited by
new destinies of a country fruitful in wonders.
