Note 11 — Chapter I · DENTAL ART AMONG THE EGYPTIANS.

G. B. Belzoni (1778 to 1823), a celebrated Italian traveller and archæologist, visited Egypt and Nubia, and wrote, in English, a report on his discoveries, which was published in 1821. We have not been able to procure this book; we have, however, read the Italian version, published in Naples in 1831, without coming across any mention of artificial teeth found in Egyptian sarcophagi. Therefore, unless the work has undergone some mutilation in the Italian translation, we do not know whence Joseph Linderer can have taken the above notice.
