Abstract
“The author adduced arguments to prove, that the Egyptians were the real masters of the Greeks in the arts of Design. The Greek writers admit that, when their ancestors were barbarous, the Egyptian colonists of Argos and Athens imported with them the arts of a more polished people; that they brought into Greece images of the Gods; and that the most ancient sculptures mentioned by Pausanias and Pliny bore the impress of an Egyptian character; especially the wooden statues ascribed by Pausanias to the elder Dædalus and to Attalus, the celebrated colossal statue of the Amyclæan Apollo, and the lions still existing over the gate of Mycenæ.
