107. _Ancient Egypt, Language of._--What are the best standard works on
the study of the language of ancient Egypt, as preserved in its
monuments? What are the best works on its chronology? What translations
exist of its "Ritual of the Dead?" I am acquainted with Lepsius
Todtenbuch. What MSS. of it, _if any_, are preserved in British museums
or libraries? have they been collated? I am acquainted with that in the
library of Trinity College, Dublin, formerly in possession of the late
Lord Kingsborough, which, I believe, has never been even lithographed;
though among the members of that university are a Hincks, a Wall, and a
Butcher.
