解説	English: Report of the arrival of the Rosetta Stone in England. Transcript: "The conquest of Egypt, independent of its political consequence, has enriched our country with a number of rare and ancient monuments, some entirely perfect, and of the highest and most undoubted antiquity. Col. Turner has brought home, in his Majesty's ship Egyptienne, a very large block of black granite, found by Menou, at Rosetta, and intended to be sent by that General, the first convenient opportunity, to France. It is charged with three inscriptions, in different languages and characters, commemorating a gift of corn from Ptomely Philadelphus to the inhabitants of that part of the country; particularly mentioning Memphis, and the month Mechir, the sixth month in the Egyptian year. The first inscription is in hieroglyphics, the second in the old Coptick, or vulgar character of the ancient Egyptians, and the left in Greek capitals. All three are tolerably perfect, and the two last but translations, it may reasonably be supported, of the first—With this was also brought a statue of Isis, of the same material, squatted, and her arms crossed over her breast; in the right hand an ear of corn; and between her knees the figure of Osiris, in his funeral chest, as she is said to have discovered him after his murder, by Typhon.—These two masses, destined for the British Museum, are at present in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, by whom it is proposed to publish facsimiles of the inscriptions."

Text

The conquest of Egypt, independent of its political consequence, has enriched our country with a number of rare and ancient monuments, some entirely perfect, and of the highest and most undoubted antiquity. Col. Turner has brought home, in his Majesty's ship Egyptienne, a very large block of black granite, found by Menou, at Rosetta, and intended to be sent by that General, the first convenient opportunity, to France. It is charged with three inscriptions, in different languages and characters, commemorating a gift of corn from Ptomely Philadelphus to the inhabitants of that part of the country; particularly mentioning Memphis, and the month Mechir, the sixth month in the Egyptian year. The first inscription is in hieroglyphics, the second in the old Coptick, or vulgar character of the ancient Egyptians, and the left in Greek capitals. All three are tolerably perfect, and the two last but translations, it may reasonably be supported, of the first—With this was also brought a statue of Isis, of the same material, squatted, and her arms crossed over her breast; in the right hand an ear of corn; and between her knees the figure of Osiris, in his funeral chest, as she is said to have discovered him after his murder, by Typhon.—These two masses, destined for the British Museum, are at present in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, by whom it is proposed to publish facsimiles of the inscriptions.
