There is also a valuable old work on the connexion of the Hebrew with other languages, by Mr. Barker, schoolmaster, Carmarthen. 104 Dr. Prichard on Egyptian Mythology. 105 Dr. Prichard on Man. 106 In some of these instances the Coptic or Egyptian has lost the original meaning of these appellations, in others it has preserved them in common with the Hebrew and Indo-European Tongues. 107 Materia Hieroglyphica. 108 Wilkinson. 109 Among the Egyptian Deities is Anep, Anepo, the classical Anubis, “The Conductor of Souls.” 110 Wilkinson, p. 11, note 4. 111 Ibid. 112 Sir William Jones on the Gods of Greece, Italy, and India. 113 Lepsius Lettre à Rosselini. 114 See a short summary of Mr. Colebrooke’s views in Dr. Prichard on Man, in his observations on the Egyptians. 115 Sir William Jones on the Gods of Greece, Italy, and India. 116 Ibid. 117 Prichard on Man, vol. ii. p. 199. 118 Mr. Wilkinson refers the reign of Menes to 2320 B.C. 119 Foreign Quarterly, 1836.
