NOTE.

By the arrival in this country of my friend Mr. Gliddon, of Cairo,
of whom mention has been several times made in the foregoing
pages, the author has received the following notice of the Egyp-
tian Society. The objects of the society are sufficiently explained
in the notice ; and they are such as cannot fail to recommend
themselves to all who feel any interest in Egypt, and the East gen-
erally. The author is personally acquainted with many of the
members, particularly with Mr. Walne, Hon. Sec, who, besides
being a gentleman of high literary and professional attainments, has
devoted much attention, and with great success, to the study of
hieroglyphics and Egyptian antiquities ; and the author feels great
satisfaction in being permitted to say that any individual, or lite-
rary or scientific institution, may, without further introduction,
correspond with Dr. Walne in relation to any of the objects set
forth in the notice which follows.
