Note 12 — PREFACE BY THE EDITOR.

The evidence of the Egyptian monuments to the power of Troy, and the bearing of that evidence on the date of the remains at Hissarlik, are among the subjects which we must refrain from discussing, as both too large and as yet too imperfectly investigated. It must suffice at present to refer to the letters by M. François Lenormant in the Academy for March 21st and March 28th, 1874, and to the two articles in the Contemporary Review for June and July, 1874, which it is understood that Mr. Gladstone is about to republish under the title of ‘Homer and Egypt; a Contribution towards determining the Place of Homer in Chronology.'
