PREFACE For some years past it has been the custom of Mr. F. G. Price, F.S.A., to invite to his house at regularHilton intervals a small number of students and others interested in the language and archaeology of ancient Egypt for the winterssystematic study of the same. Four ago I was invited by him to join this little class, and, assuming well acquainted with Mr.that each member was Renouf's Egyptian Grammar* and the lists of hieroglyphic signs as published the late Dr. E. deby Birch,t Rouge,:J: and Dr. H. Brugsch,§ the study of the well known story of the Tale the Two Brothers was commenced. At that timeof no complete hieroglyphic transcript of this text existed to my knowledge, and I transcribed the hieratic text into hiero- glyphics for our use. This text was chosen for study because there are many easy passages in it, and because it is nearly complete, and the interesting nature of this ancient story makes it pleasant reading for students.
