_Ancient Egypt_ (Vol. iv., p. 152.).--This Query, although partially
answered in Vol. iv., pp. 240. 302., has hitherto received no reply on
the subject of the "Ritual of the Dead." Brugsch has just published the
_Sai an Sinsin, sive Liber Metempsychosis, &c._, from a papyrus in the
Museum at Berlin, with an interlinear Latin translation, and a
_transcript_ of the original in _modern_ characters, in conformity with
the plan which he adopted in his interpretation of the hieroglyphic
portion of the Rosetta Inscription, published in the early part of the
present year. S. P. H. T. will find some of the information he requires
in the _former_, if not in _both_ of these volumes.
