Breasted, James Henry. History of Egypt from the earliest times to the Persian conquest. **$5. Scribner.
“This book fills a great want. The writer seems to me to view Egypt too often not as a critic but as an over-enthusiastic lover and admirer, a fault rather general with the older school of Egyptologists. The treatment of the transliteration of Egyptian names, abounding in unwarranted innovations and inconsistencies, is hardly suited to a popular work.” W. Max Müller.

“Pitfalls have been avoided by Dr. Breasted, and in the result, and subject to the caution we have indicated, his book is the best so far at the disposal of the general reader.”
