About This Item

VOLUME TWO ONLY. Of the tombs of Thebes which the writer was able to examine, he writes (p. 177), "I observed every thing I met with, and put into my pockets all the portable fragments I found: among the latter was a charming little patera, of baked earth, a morsel worthy of the best age of the arts... figures of divinities in sycamore-wood, carved with extraordinary freedom; locks of fine, soft, and flaxen hair; a little foot of a mummy... doubtlessly the foot of a young lady, of a princess... In obtaining this, I seemed to obtain a favour, and commit an amorous larceny on the line of the Pharoahs!"
