Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 July 2012
Extract
I will thank you to present to the Society, in the name of M. Millin, superintendant of the National Museum at Paris, an engraving, received from him two days ago. It exhibits the face of the celebrated Persepolitan monument, brought lately to France by M. Michaux. The identity of characters upon it with those on the ruins of Persepolis, and their likeness to the characters on the bricks of Babylon, have induced me to consider the latter with attention. The remarks, however, which I here offer, chiefly concern the Brick of Dr. Hulme, recently submitted to the inspection of the Society. By presenting them for me, if you think them entitled to attention, you will much oblige.
