Excerpt from Naukratis, Vol. 1: 1884-5 IT is a golden principle to let each year see the publication of the year's work, in any research; but a writer places himself thus at the disadvantage of showing how his information may have been defective, or his views requiring change, as year after year goes on. Such a course, however, is the most honest and the most useful, as half a loaf is better than no bread. This volume, therefore, with all its imperfections, its half-gleaned results, its transitory views, comes forth to show what is already ascertained; and to supply a mass of certain facts for the assimilation of scholars, who may accept or not the way in which they are built up.
