''An Attempt To Ascertain The Number, Names, And Powers, Of The Letters Of The Hieroglyphic Or Ancient Egyptian Alphabet'' is a book written by Edward Hincks and published in 1847. The book is an attempt to decode and understand the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic alphabet, which was used in ancient Egypt for writing and communication. Hincks, who was a linguist and scholar, studied the hieroglyphic inscriptions found on ancient Egyptian monuments and artifacts, and tried to identify the number of letters in the alphabet, their names, and their powers. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the hieroglyphic alphabet, such as its history, structure, and grammar. Hincks also provides examples of hieroglyphic inscriptions and their translations, as well as a comparative analysis of the hieroglyphic alphabet with other ancient scripts, such as the Phoenician and Greek alphabets. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian language and culture, and is still considered an important work in the field of Egyptology today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
