The Collection of Egyptian Antiquities formed by the llev. William MacGregor holds a high position in the estimation of students of the art of the past. It has acquired its reputation both for its general excellence and for including among its treasures certain well-known objects of exceptional importance. Various classes of Egyptian art are represented in the museum of Bolehall Manor House, the predominating interest, however, resting with its display of the ceramic art. The examples in this department pfirmit the opportunity of taking a comprehensive survey of the progress of the art of the Egyptian potter from an early period up to that of its latest development, such as is scarcely to be found elsewhere. Hence, in selecting from Mr. MacGregor's Collection a scries of subjects for illustration it has been possible to present specimens, if not of every phase of the achievement of the Egyptian ceramic artist, at least of much that may fairly he termed typical and representative.
