Extract

I have the honor of returning to you the Roll of Egyptian Papyrus, belonging to the Society of Antiquaries; which I have succeeded, not without some difficulty, in unrolling in its whole extent. The circumstance of its having been for some months in salt water occasioned the folds, in many parts of it, to adhere so closely together, that they could only be separated by dipping in boiling water.
