coloured plates, and explanations from the monuments, which
continued till 1825. During the year 1824 he had visited the
splendid collection of Drovetti, now in the Museum of Turin,
and published his "Letters to M. Blacas,"" entering first upon
the discussion of the older part of the history and monarchy,
and had explained more fully his system and mode of induction
in his " Compendium of the Hieroglyphical System of the
Ancient Egyptians." 3 In 1826 he had published a second
" Letter to the Due de Blacas,"4 containing a series of obser-
vations on royal names; and in 1827, a small, but, for the
time, valuable, catalogue of the Museum of the Louvre.5 In
1831 was issued a prospectus of the " Monuments of Egypt
and Nubia." 6 In 1833 came forth his letters written from
that country, full of curious and valuable information.7 The
publication of the "Monuments of Egypt," commenced by
him, were published afterwards by his brother, M. Champollion-
Eigeac,8 as were his Grammaire, in 1836-41;9 and his
Dictionnaire, in 1841.10

Young, that he conjectured the hieroglyphs to be used in
these cartouches alphabetically, and not syllabically; and
