Reseña del editor:

Egyptian antiquities in theB ritish Museum are arranged first, in a long gallery or series of rooms on the ground-floor; secondly, on the staircase which leads to the first-floor; and thirdly, on the landing-place and two rooms on the first-floor. On the ground-floor are placed the heavier monuments of stone, from the sarcophagus and colossal statue down to the small funereal tablet. On the staircase are hung a few papyri in frames. On the first-floor are all the lighter works of art, such as mummies, vases, engraved stones, and porcelain models of mummies in the glass-cases, with a few large plaster casts fastened against the walls. In this catalogue the above arrangement has, for the most part, been followed. Part I. contains the principal monuments on the groundfloor, together with the large plaster casts which are fixed against the walls on the landing-place and first-floor upstairs. These are many of them royal monuments, and bear the names of the kings for whom they were made; and many others, which were made for private persons, have the names of the kings in whose reigns they were made.
