LOCAL AFFAIRS. Miss Bacon's Historical Lecture, ‘esterday morning Miss Bacon delivered ber eighth Jessen on histery, at the Stuyvesant Institute, She com- meneced her discourse by observing that the history with which she was then engaged was the newest, and yet old- emt. There is at present one grea! difficulty im studying the history of early periods, arising from the fact that the records are still in & state of formation, and what one earns ome year it is necessary to unlegra the next, if t be desirable to ktep pace with the progress of disco- wery. At the same time, these;ciroumstances lend addi tional interest to the subject. She them went on to say: All that history which I haye thus far presented to you embraces the new views of the remote ages of elvili- sation in India, and the new view of the characteristics ef the Persians—the former being derived from the re- waltes of explorations im Indis by British discoverers. Both subjects have been considerably elucidated by the ew discoveries in the science of language. There mani- feud ‘and new arts teach us connections hitherto un. of bet ‘between the different members of the human Gt RT A ar the ‘tor! mouumes' ve Se Bacand fel of storie research within the reach yr scholarly investigation. I must remind you of this, and I must also refer you to those works which contain the researches to which I have direeted your attentioi You must not rest contented with one, but must co fimue to read the newest works as they are issued, if, a: before remarked, you wish to keep pace with the progress | of discovery, for «ach new work advances some new formed on the last dircovery, Thos: t monuments which extend along the shores of the to the last cata. mact have been there for ages.

The most candid judge decides English echolar, Dr. Young, of Cambri: riginal discovery is comcerned; but for Frenchman, this diseovery would hays but little, for it was his individual labor applied to the monuments that brought forth the secrets. The ‘waitings ‘vf the Egyptians are of three kinds : the hiero- giyphic, or writing of the priests, the populer writing, the hieratic, which was a kindof short hand, hi penn A adapted to the ordinary pt of writi hieroglyphic were applied toluscriptions. The changes in the forms of letters had of course a eet effect on the writings of ;the Egyptians; the tha hieroglyphics which had been engraved on the | 4 religious character, thoy were preserved bmg pra Si Those hicroglyphics themselves were elacsified into three forms. The first, which is supposed | to be the original one, reprerents objests by their form; | the next by symbols ; the last is by phonetic characters. Phere were many words which could not be Fepresented by symbols. such, for instance, as proper names. ‘would be impossible to reprecent mere sound by aay But I ought to mention, before proceeding far. ther, that the discovery which furnished the ma ferial to Dr. Young and the French scholar with the | EF key to this oncient hieroglyphic language. was made from | the Rosetta stone now in the British Museum, which contained an inecription of « triangle. that this stone was sculptured, which was inthe reign | of one of the Ptolemys, who patronised the priests in the true spirit of the Alexandrian age, there was an in- scription in Greek, beside the ancient hieroglyphi2. In | fact, two proper names were found written in both lan- uages—" Ptoemy” and “ Cleopatra’’—and on compar- Sieve’ sountn a key was at once furnished to the Biereglyphic writings, and thus further investigations ould be prosecuted ruccessfully It was s00on discovered thet the monuments contained, for the most part, the names of kings, supplied by phonetic characters. The | same rules were applied to all the remaining monuments | of Egypt. and the consequence is the confirma: fon of | those chronologies preserved by Manetho. He has soribed thirty human dynasties, at the back of aa Iayithe suppored reiins of gods. The recent Prussian | expedition in Egypt vaxbrough to light monuments | back to the four’h dynasty; the third, second, and first, have. epparently. no monuments, or at least mone Rave been fourd 1 mentioned to you at the last lesson | that the eighteenth dynas'y formed firm ground in the unsettled chronology of this period, amd you will find | im the works to which I referred you, quite different accounts” of the chronological dicoveries, But the eighteenth and nincteenth dynasties form a safe landing place where you can place your foot, and from which you cam conduct your researches back into the anterior ages. and forward into those that succeed them Regarding the shepherd kiogs, whom I mentioned in my Iast (esson, it ix supposed by Lepsius that their rale last- ed five hundred years. lie makes the termination of the eld empire fall at the back of that period which I have marked as the known oriental chronology.

I's chronology extends four thourand years before Christ. The monuments to which I directed your attention at the last lesson. are supposed to be the remains of the most ancient civiliza- tion, and in them you have representations of the domes tic livesof the Egyptians who flourished before Abraham ‘went ipto thet country. Mire Bacon here referred to the Egypt, in order to poiut out the three divisions of Mues, who founded civilization, is probably synonymous “Menou” of India and our modern © Map,” and must ‘be taken in the sense of a benefactor. That part of the country formed by the delta of the Nile contains but few remains of ancient mesuments. but there are enough to show that stones | were carried from old bui Laing” in order to constraet mew ones.

As toon as you pars from the Delta into middie Egypt, find yourself in a country once occupied by the Kings f the old empire. In Lepsius we find that the a fal mopum-nts which here «bound can be charac- with certainty. The dessriptions of Memphis and ne wonderful Iabyrinth, fully confirm the accounts fur- nished by Herodotus, five kundred yeacs before Christ, After entering into minute particulars conce:ning the Iabyrinth. Luke Moeris, Memphis. Thebes. and other mon- | uments. Miss Bacon incidentally mentioned the shepherd | Kings, and remsrked that rhe could not agree with Lep- sins in the opinion that they were of the Semitic race, for as they were described as possessing blue eyer and it hair. it was most probable that they formed part of e great Indo Germanic race.
