THIS Catalogue describes the objects now on exhibition in the Museum and Gallery of Art of the New-York Historical Society. The Abbott Collection of Egyptian Antiquities is more particularly noticed in the preface and introduction, which are reproduced in the following pages with Dr. Abbott's Catalogue. The Collection, as is well known to the public, is now the property of the Society, by the munificence of citizens of New-York. Together with the Lenox Collection of INineveh Sculptures, they constitute a Department of Antiquities, which, when increased by the American collections now awaiting the space and means of arrangement, will bear comparison with the collections of Europe. The Gallery of Art now embraces the entire collection of the New-York Gallery of Fine Arts, which has been permanently placed in the custody of the Society. Any notice of this collection would be deficient which should fail to commemorate the name of LTUMAN REED, whose taste, judgment, and generosity formed the nucleus of what may n')w be justly regarded as the foundation of a great Gallery of Art. The pictures collected by' Mr. REED are designated in the catalogue as belonging to the Reed Collection. In this connection the Society is much indebted to the liberality and cordial cobpcra Vii NOTICE. tion of one of their most valued members, who was himself the chief promoter of the original design of the 1New-York Gallery Mr. J ONATHAN STURGES. The recent additions to the collection in this department have been of the highest importance. The Society is indebted to the munificence of Mr. THoMas J. BRYAN for the gift of his noble Collection, so well known as the Bryan Gallery of Christian Art, which has been duly arranged under his own direc. tion and described in the following pages. The splendid results of MIr. BRYAN'S judicious taste and persevering liberality, thus dedicated to the public, in the interest of Art, are alike honorable to him, to the Society, and the City. " New-York is destined to owe a great debt of gratitude to Mr. BRYAN, which this generation will not leave wholly to thenr children to die charge." THE ABBOTT COLLECTION OF EGYPTIAN ANTI Q UITIES. PREFACEs UPON exhibiting this Collection, it may be necessary to state that I do not profess to be a savan, or a decipherer of hieroglyphics, but merely an amateur collector of such objects of antiquity as appeared to me illustrative of the religious and other customs of the ancient Egyptians, in whose country I have passed the last twenty years of my life. To occuapy my leisure hours was necessary, and I found it an agreeable pastime to dive into the tombs of the ancients and rescue from the hands of the many pi! ferers such objects as appeared to me worthy of notice, and I think I may. without fear of contradiction, assert that every article in this collection is of undoubted antiquity. I have spared neither time nor expense in my efforts to obtain the finest and most genuine objects of antiquity, and feel assured that they will be appreciated. As regards the Catalogue, I have endeavoured, as far as the limits of such a work will allow, to give a sufficient, although not a very enlarged, description of each article, and for more minute details must refer to the works of such savans as SiR GARDNER WILKINSON, S. POOLE, Esq., I. PERRING, Esq., J. KENRICK, Esq., PROFESSOR LEPSIUS, and M. E. PRISSE, from all pf which I have quoted when necessary. Subjoined is an Introduction by a gentleman of this city, who has vsited Egypt, and who is himself an author of great merit. He has ren dered it useless for me to say more than that I am indebted to him and many other American travellers for the praise they have kindly bestowed sponl my exertions, and without whose advice I should never have ventured to offer this Collection of Egyptian Antiquities to the patronage of the &merican public. H. ABBOTT. INTRODUCTIDN. This Museum ( f Egyptian Antlquities was collected by Dr. Abbott, during a residence 1 twenty years in Cairo, all whih time his attention was constantly directed to the subject The most distinguished Egyptian scholars, Sir Gardner Wilkinson, I. Perring, Lepsius, and Poole, have verified in this collection many of their speculations, and the genuineness of the relics has, in their sanction, the highest possible authority. Many of the objects were found in tombs opened in the presence of Dr. Abbott, and there is probably no similar museum in the world more valu ble to the Student, the Antiquarian, and the Divine. " There s nothing new under the sun," said Solomon, and here are many things that were old when he said it. It is here that the ocular and palpable evidence of the authenticity of the Bible is presented in the most interesting form. We are made, as it were, contemporary with Abraham, with the Israelites in Egypt, with Shishak, with Zerah, by witnessing speci mens of rare arts made in their times, and with which they were familiar. Here, too, we must unlearn some of our pride, and be struck with new astonishment at the civilization of a people, whose historical records have mostly perished. The Biblical student will natol rally turn in this Collection to the stone head of the Pharaoh of the Exodus, Thothmes III. or Egyptian history, which preserves the character of the Egyptian type, as seen in the Sta tues of Aboo Sinmbel, and in the face of the Sphynx-and which scientific research is unable to refer to one of the primeval races, so as to determine the probable origin ol the Egyptians. He will also see the iron helmet and breast-plate of scale armour, bearing the cartouche, (corresponding to our modern armorial bearings,) of Shishak, nine hundred and seventy-one years before Christ, who took Jerusalem from Rehoboam.-2 Chron. xi Also, a hawkheaded Vase, in green earthenware, from the plain of Zoan, with the oval of Zerah, the Ethiopian king, seven hundred and forty-one years B. c.-2 Chron xiv. Also the burned and unlburned bricks made without straw by the children'of Israel in Egypt, and dating from the above-mentioned Pharaoh. The Antiquarian will notice among a large collection of jewelry, the gold Necklace an i Ear-rings bearing the name of Menes, the first Pharaoh of Egypt, and the earliest king in history. The most learned scholars assign two thousand seven hundred and seventy-one years. c. as the date of these ornaments. The large gold Signet-ring of Shoufou or Cheops, as High Priest and King; he was the builder of the great Pyramid two thousand three hundred and fifty-two years r c. Baked clay stamps used by Terak, in the XXV. Dynasty, seven hundred and fourteen years B. c, to stamp the fresh Nile mud which was plastered over the locks of the granaries and the public buildings. Besides these, there is especial interest in the various cloths of those remote periods-in the preserved fruits and grains, threads, needles, and household implements of those who " Walked about, how strange a story! In Thebes' streets three thousand years ago." The Mummy-case which was handed round at banquets to remind the guests of their mnor fality-the Stylus with which the Greeks wrote, and the tablets upon which they were ased-the Painter's palette-the remarkably fine specimens of Papyrus, upon which the writing is still so legible-Glass, beautiful as the famous Venetian glass-the various mnages, talismans, and charms-the human Mummies, and three ponderous Mummied tullocks, all make real to the observer the daily life and habits of a people which, afte4 centuries of supremacy, exists for him only in these relics.

Lollg sticks of glass, of the desired colour and form. were welded together, side by side. This mass being well united, was then sawn through, transversely, at regular intervals; thus produdrg 48 a supply of perfectly similar patterns. Tbh pieces thus obtair.ed were afterwards polished and inserted, like Mosaic work to decorate various utensils. Thus, for example, were produced a series of stars of exactly similar dimensions and form as No. 1, which were inserted side by side, in a cavity, to represent the heavens; or the ornament No. 2, representing the lotus, was thus reproduced with an exactness which no other contrivance could guarantee.

In the first scene is represented the Sacred Bull, beautifully gilded, and the deceased supported by two or more Gods; in the next is the Hall of the two Truths, with the God Osiris sitting in judgment, assisted by the forty-two judges, who may be seen immediately above him; before him is the soli of the deceased accompanied by Anubis, the Guardian of the Tombs, and the Ibis-headed God, Thoth, who has been writing down the history of the departed, and has collected all his g>>ds deeds into a small bottle, which is placed in a scale, while in the opposite scale may be seen the Goddess of Trruth, sometimes only the Ostrich feather (the emblem of truth) is used, weighing down the good deeds; this result having been made known by the God Thoth to Osiris, he awards such punishment as seems meet to him and his forty-two assistants, and the soul of the sinner is sent into purgatory, for so many thousand years, during which time he has certain labours to perform, which may be seen in the smaller illustrations; in the last sketch, the deceased is represented be. fore Osiris awaiting his final judgment. If he has performed all the tasks imposed upon him to the satisfaction of the judges, his soul is allowed to return again to his body, (if it still be perfect,) otherwise he is sentenced to a lengthened residence in purgatory 54 after which the soul is permitted to return to its original body and it is for this reason,hat the Egyptians were so very par ticular about preserving and mummifying the bodies of the dead. *776. 777.

After the destruction and disposal of the limbs by Seth, his form was made again by Noum, (Amon-Ra,) the creator, on a potter's wheel. The most prominent filnction of Osiris is that of judge of the dead, seated in the hall of the Two Truths, with Ouem, (the devourer,) and the forty-two demons of the dead; he awards the ultimate destiny of the soul, perdition and darkness, or manifestation to light.

Figure 3 is a magnified representation of the inscription engraved on it. 3,i Thi? remarkable piece of antiquity is in the highest state of preservation, and was found at Ghizeh, in a tomb near that ex. cavation of Colonel Vyse called Campbell's tomb. It is of fine gold, and weighs nearly three sovereigns. The style of the hieroglyphics is in perfect accordance with those in the tombs about the Great Pyramid, and the hieroglyphics within the oval is the name of that Pharaoh of whom the pyramid was the tomb. The details are minutely accurate, and beautifully executed. The heaven is engraved with stars: the fox, or jackal, has significant lines within its contour: the hatchets have their handles bound with thongs, as is usual in the sculptures: the volumes have the string which binds them hanging below the roll, differing in this respect from any example in sculptured or painted hieroglyphics. The determinative for country is studded with dots, representing the sand of the mountains at the margin of the valley of Egypt. The instrument, as in the larger hieroglyphics, has the tongue and simi-lunar mark of the sculptured examples; as is the case also with the heartshaped vase. The name is surmounted with the globe, and feathers, decorated in the usual manner; and the ring of the cartouche is engraved with marks repre. senting a rope, never seen in the sculptures: and the I~M AF M512.z TuIE NECKLACE ANDn EAR-RINGS OF MENE]S.

But what is particularly curious is, that the name of Menes (the first Pharaoh of Egypt, who reigned 2750 years B. c.) is stamped upon the ear-rings, and upon eight oval plates of the necklace. These ovals have a dotted ornament around them. The circle around the ear-rings is plain, and is in the form of a cartouche. At equal distances between these ovals are curiously entwined devices, attached by a rude chain, formed of thin strips of flattened gold. There are also three pendants attached; they are in form of baskets, most beautifully executed, and will bear examination through a magnifying glass. 1053.

Thomas Cole A series of five pictures, illustrating a nation's rise, progress, greatness, decline, and fall, and the consequent changes in the same landscape. NoTE.-The isolated rock, crowning a precipitous hill, in the distance, identifies the scenes in each of the series; but the observer's position varies in the several pictures. " First freedom, and then glory, when that fails, Wealth, vice, corruption." (Reed Collection.) [FIRST OF THE SERIES.] 2. The "Savage State," or "Commencement of Empire." (611 X 39.) The sun is rising from the sea, over a wild scene of rocks, forests, and mountains, dissipating the clouds and darkness of night. Man, attired in skins, is seen engaged in the wild dance and the chase-the characteristic occupations of the savage life. In the picture, we have the first rudiments of society. Men have banded together for mutual aid. The useful arts have commenced in the construction of the canoe, the weapon, and the hut; and we may imagine the germs of two of the fine arts, music and poetry, in the singing usually accompanying the dance of the savage. The empire is asserted, to a limited extent, over sea, land, and the animal kingdom. It is the season of Spring-the morning of the nation's existence. 2 ]o. RSUBJECTS OF PAINTINGS. ARTISTr [SECOND OF THE SERIES.] 3. "T' e Arcadian," or "Pastoral State." (62- X 39.) Ages have passed; a change has been wrought in the scene-man has subjugated "the untracked and rude." We now see the shepherd and his flocks; the ploughman upturning the soil, and the wafting sail; by the shore a village, and on the hill the ascending smoke of sacrifice. In this picture we have agriculture, commerce, and religion. In the aged man describing the mathematical figure, the rude attempt of the boy in drawing; in the female figure with the distaff, the vessel on the stocks; in the primitive trmple, and the dance of the peasants to the music of the pipe, we have evidence of the advance made in science, in the useful and the fine arts. It is early Summer, and the sun has ascended midway to the meridian. [THIRD OF THE SERIES.] 4. "The Consummation of Empire." (75 X 50.) The rude village has become a magnificent city. From the bay-now a capacious harbor, with phari at the entrance, and thronged with war-galleys, and barks with silken sails-ascend piles of architecture, temples, domes, and colonnades. The massive bridge, the streets and squares, lined with palaces and adorned with statuary, clustered columns, and sparkling fountains, are crowded with gorgeous pageants and triumphal processions. It is a day of triumph-man has conquered man-nations have been subjugated. By wealth and power, knowledge, art, and taste, man has achieved the summit of human grandeur. The sun is near the meridian [FroURT OF THE sERIEs.] 5. "Destruction." (621 X 38.) Ages have passed away since the scene of glory. Luxury has enervated, vice has debased, and the strength of the mighty nation has consumed away. A barbarous enemy sacks the city. The heavens are darkened by a tempest, and the storm of war rages beneath, amid falling walls and colonnades, and the flames of temples and palaces. [FIFTH OF THE SERIES.] 6. "Desolation." (61 x 39.) The moon ascends the twilight sky, near where the sun rose in the first picture. The last rays of the departed sun illumine a lonely column of the once proud city, on whose capital the heron has built her nest. The shades of evening steal over shattered and ivy-grown ruins. The steep pronmoitory, with its insulated rock, still rears against the sky, unmoved, unchanged; but violence and time have 3 0. SUBJECTS OF PAINTINGS. ARTISTS crumbled the works of man, and art is again resolving into elemental nature.
