Boussard presented to the Institute of Cairo, was taken from that body at the period when the French array evacuated Egypt. It was preserved, however, in the British Museum, where it figured, as Thomas Young said, as a monument of British valour. Putting valour out of the question, the celebrated philosopher might have added, without too much partiality, that this invalu- able trilingual monument thus bears some witness to the advanced views which guided all the details of the mem- orable exped...ition into Egypt, as also to the indefatigable zeal of the distinguished savants whose labours, often carried on under the fire of the forts, have added so much to the glory of their country. The importance of the Rosetta stone struck them, in fact, so forcibly, that in order not to abandon this precious treasure to the adven- turous chances of a sea voyage, they earnestly applied themselves, from the first, to reproduce it, by copies, by im- pressions taken in the way of printings from engi-avings, by moulds in plaster or sulphur.
