THE singular correspondence which may be traced between the passage-chambers of the Grand Pyramid—called by the Egyptians of old The “Khut,” or “Lights”—and the various stages traversed, according to the creed of that ancient nation, by the holy dead in passing from the light of earth to the light of eternal day, was first pointed out by me last year in the pages of the New Review. Previously to publication the article was submitted in substance to M. Maspéro and Professor Sayce; and I desire to express my sincere thanks to those eminent authorities for the recognition and encouragement which they afforded me, as well as to Mr.Mengedoht, the hieroglyphic scholar, for his revision of my work.
