means ceased. "Wrong in principle, although right in some
minor details, he still continued to attack even the memory of

Mr. "Williams had also disserted on the same principle.3
Salvolini, a Sardinian, sent by his government to complete his
researches at Paris, attracted by the new study, devoted himself
to Champollion, and appeared as a successor to his system,
publishing, in 1832-3, a " Memoir on the Notation of Dates,"4
in 1835 an account of the papyrus of M. Sallier at Aix, one of
the poems recording the campaign of Eameses II. against the
Sheta,5 in 1836 an analysis of the hieroglyphic text of the
Eosetta inscription," and in 1837 an account of the inscription
of the obelisk of Luxor, removed to Paris.7 This was the first
attempt at critical analysis after the labours of Champollion.
He endeavoured to enlarge the alphabet, to prove the value of
sounds and the meaning of groups by an extended examination
of texts ; and although there can be no doubt but that his
discoveries were extensively pirated from his illustrious master,
and his method of analysis was unsound in principle, yet
