Topographical Survey of Thebes, Tapé, Thaba, or Diospolis Magna, and the Pyramids of Geezeh, by Sir Gardner Wilkinson, in 7 large maps, each 34 in. by 221, 21s

1830

These maps contain the only true and authentic information respecting the topography of the famous Thebes. The surveys were made from the actual observations of Sir Gardner Wilkinson, and were executed by him with the greatest care and accuracy. They are accompanied by explanatory and descriptive references in the margins. This survey fills up a blank, which was not supplied even by the great French work on Egypt, in which the map of Thebes is most imperfect, while this one gives the exact position of every ruin at Thebes, together with the hills and vallies about it, the whole laid down by accurate triangulation, which is extended even to the tombs of individuals and the most minute objects, and all finished upon the ground. The hill of Abd el Goorna, behind the Memnonium, alone occupied Sir Gardner Wilkinson thirty days from morning till night, and every tomb is laid down by bearings. The survey was the work of many months, and the copies of the map now offered to the public contain the latest discoveries added by Sir Gardner Wilkinson's last visit to Egypt in 1856.

1826

"One of the most instructive, and, to well prepared minds, one of the most interesting publications of the present age."-Sir Jas. Mackintosh.

"The late Mr. Erskine translated the Memoirs of the Emperor Baber-the resuscitator of the dynasty of that mighty Tartar, who from the rank of a petty chieftain expanded into the conqueror of Tartary, India, Persia, Russia, and Central Asia; victor in thirty-five campaigns, and possessor of twenty-seven kingdoms. 'whose Ameers,' to use the words of Gibbon, 'traversed the river Irtish, and engraved in the forests of Siberia, rude memorials of their exploits.' Baber, expelled from his native country and kingdom by the Uzbeks, and for some time a wanderer without a home, ended by acquiring the empire of India, and founding a house whose shade still haunts the once imperial Delhi; and whose ultimate descendant still exists, a memorial of greatness departed, and a continuing example of the pecuniary dishonesty of the trading sovereigns of India."

Mr. Mill's work has been fairly characterised in the 31st volume of the "Edinburgh Review:" —“ Mr. Mill appears to possess, in perfection, the patient industry and habits of research which the work demanded; an acute and logical mind, with very little imagination or passion, and well stored with that sort of information which such a mind, combined with such powers of application, is apt to require. He seems perfectly familiar with the modern and ancient historians and orators, and to have studied diligently the progress of all the sciences connected with government and legislation, from the earliest speculations to their most recent advances. It is not difficult, after this

character, to imagine how he has performed his task. Those parts in which picturesque description, and the power of warm and interesting narrative might have been displayed, are not made the most of by him. But in the careful investigation of facts, and of the inference to be drawn from them, in illustrating his subject by help of the widest range of historical knowledge, in discriminating between the real and apparent causes of events, in the examination of policy, in the exposition of the motives of the actors, and the consequences of their acts, in unfolding the drift of hollow states hard to be spelled,' he leaves little to be desired. Of partiality in bending facts or opinions in favour of any individual or any party, we have not discovered the least symptom; and though it may be invidious to pry into the causes of so good a quality, we are apt to attribute his merit, on this score, to the habits of thought as much as to his love of justice." 2785 MONTGOMERY (R.)
