* EGYPTOLOGY. 716 EHRENBREITSTEIN. teresting discoveries have been made. Ui> to the luesent time tiie society has published more than thirty valuable memoirs, and its annual reports give a compicliensive survey of the prog- ress of Egyptology throughout the world. A very large iimnbor ol Egyptian inscriptions and papyri have been jniblished by the different museums and by individual scholars. In this direction, as also in other ways, important ser- vice has been rendered by a number of ]«'ri- odicals devoted wholly or in part to the interests of Egyptology. Zeilschrift fiir ayyptltche Hprache und AUerthumskunde (Leipzig, 1803 et seq.), liccueil de Tracaiix rclatifs a la philologie et a VarcliMogie egyptiennes et assyf-ieniies (Paris, 1870 et seq.), and Transactioim (1872 et seq.) and Proceedings of the Society of Biblical Archce- ology (London, 1878 et seq.), desen'e special mention in this connection. The Revue eyyp- t<)lo<ii<iue (Paris, 1880 et seq.) deals more espe- cially with Demotic sulijects. Since the time of Cliampollion, Egyptology has advanced with steady progress, and to-day stands upon a firm scientific basis. For the past half century hardly a year has passed unmarked by some important discovery. Among the many scholars to whose labors these great results are due. it is difficult to particularize ; but the names of Marictte. Devi'ria, Pierret, Maspero. de Mor- gan.
