Extract

Mr. Chairman, Ladies, and Gentlemen,—It may be in your remembrance that, at our last November meeting, I had the honour to read before the members of the Association a paper on “A pair of ancient Egyptian Double-Flutes,” and thanks to the kindness of Mr. Flinders Petrie, the famous Egyptologist, who had discovered them in the coffin of a mummy, I was enabled to show you these musical relics, still playable though three thousand years has passed since the priestess to whom they belonged had played her last song upon them.
