  162. PRICHARD, J. C. An Analysis of Egyptian Mythology: To which is subjoined, a Critical Examination of the Remains of Egyptian Chronology. By J. C. Prichard, M.D. London: Printed for John and Arthur Arch, 1819
    Nineteenth century quarter calf with paper covered boards, Roy.8vo.
    ii,xviii,427,ii,138pp. hand-coloured frontispiece and 5 plates.
    Prichard, James Cowles (1786-1848), physician and ethnologist was one of the important figures in the history of anthropology. Prichard’s main ethnological aim was to prove the unity of mankind and to vindicate the veracity of the anthropology laid down in Genesis. He perceived that traditional accounts of difference in skin colour were flawed, and eighteenth-century environmentalism was empirically false. In 1819 he found time to publish `An Analysis of Egyptian Mythology,’ in which he traced the early connection between the Hindus and the Egyptians, and made public his hieroglyphic alphabet. Champollion’s `Précis’ of the latter was not published till 1824. In this he also asserts that the myths of all human cultures were so similar that they all necessarily had to share the same primeval history. Many of his carefully worked-out theories were controversial at the time but gradually became generally accepted. New end-papers, late nineteenth century quarter calf with raised bands and black leather label, old embossed library stamp to the title page, slight offsetting of frontispiece to title, preliminary leaves
    starting to loosen, a very nice copy with the edges uncut.

Scharf and printed by Hullmandel, apart from plates 46, 52, 53, 54, 55 which were drawn and printed by J. Netherclift for The Royal Society of Literature.

Arch, 1831 Contemporary boards with later cloth spine, 8vo. 62, x, 24, [4], 110, xv pp. portrait frontispiece of the author, index.
    Young, Thomas (1773-1829), was a physician, physicist, and Egyptologist. He competed with Champollion and Akerblad over the decypherment of the Rosetta stone. At the time of his death he was completing his ‘Rudiments of an Egyptian dictionary in the ancient enchorial character’ which subsequently appeared as an appendix to Henry Tattam’s A Compendious Grammar of the Egyptian Language (1830). Young’s contributions to the study of ancient Egyptian languages have sometimes been compared unfavourably with those of Jean François Champollion. Although his interventions were perhaps less intense than Champollion’s he made a number of original and insightful innovations, especially in the mid-1810s. The portrait frontispiece is by Charles Turner after Sir Thomas Lawrence. Title page creased and remounted on the inner margin, frontispiece slightly foxed, a very nice copy in the original boards with a later
    matching light brown cloth spine with a printed paper label.     £ 1,250.00
