Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians, Vol. 1 of 3: Including Their Private Life, Government, Laws, Arts, Manufactures, Religion, and Early ... and Monuments Still Existing, With the Acco - Softcover
Excerpt from Manners and Customs of the Ancient Egyptians, Vol. 1 of 3: Including Their Private Life, Government, Laws, Arts, Manufactures, Religion, and Early History; Derived From a Comparison of the Paintings, Sculptures, and Monuments Still Existing, With the Accounts of Ancient Authors
In order to form an accurate opinion of the manners of an ancient people, it is of paramount importance to inquire into their origin and history, and to trace the progress of those steps which gradually led to their improvement and civilisation. To judge impartially of their character, we must examine the comparative state of other neighbouring and contemporary nations, and measure it by the standard of the era in which they lived. We should also bear in mind the general habits of that portion of the globe whence they derived their origin, or which they inhabited, and, in contemplating the customs of an Eastern people, avoid as much as possible the invidious comparison of European and Oriental manners.
