Scarabs

الوصف

The following work on ancient Egyptian scarabs was taken in part, from an address delivered by me before, The American Numismatic and Archeological Society, at its Hall in the City of New York, on March 30th, 1893. Since that time I have been led into a train of thought, having as its basis a more philosophical treatment of the meaning of the scarab as a symbol, in the religious metaphysic conception of it by the Ancient Egyptians, and have added much new matter.
