Excerpt from The Tale of the Two Brothers: A Fairy Tale of Ancient Egypt; The D'orbiney Papyrus in Hieratic Characters in the British Museum, the Hieratic Text, the Hieroglyphic Transcription, a Translation, Notes, and Glossary

The following pages were originally prepared in 1883 for the use of the students of the post-graduate department in the author's Alma Mater, Columbia College, New York City. Unfortunately his hopes of introducing the study of Egyptology at that time into our American universities were not realized. In the firm belief, however, that this most fas cinating study would not always be ignored by our institu tions of learning, the author obtained the necessary oriental type from Germany, Holland, and Austria and after several years completed his task. He trusts that the book may be of some little help to such as are interested in Egyptology and in the study of the world's oldest written language.
