RAuESES AND OTHERS.

There is nothing new in the cable dispatch

ion of old Rameses and respect for the Egyptian
dnsoot's mastery Of the art OF advertising. Stu
dents have long known his fatal love OF publicity
md the perverted ideas it has impaired to men
Of later ages who have found his name and
monuments everywhere. Nevertheless TINS OFT
repeated exposure has a lesson to teach which
warrants us in dragging the maligned mummy
Of the great original press agent to the fore
again. The audacious genius of Rameses for
nlaIlin. his contemporaries and successors think
he was the one and only focal point of the uni
verse and the simple method whereby the mon
arch immortalized himself and moulded public
opinion, give US cause to ponder over modern
instances and perils. If the art of advertising
had already reached such an astonishing degree
of perfection in ancient Egypt, who will have
tbe courage to defend the accuracy OF any his
t0rical reputation? If there is such thing as
procress we may reasonably suppose that the
Hellenic oligarchs and Roman emperors en-
rloved far more subtle methods of elf-glOriica-
tiop than the poor Old father of 1G2 Egyptian
children knew Rameses, ignorant of the posi-
hiIities OF literary criticism, innocently chopped
out the names of other distinguished Egyptians
f~om obelisks and pyramids and substituted his
own granite visiting card. But may not wiser
pericles or Augustus have kept among his slaves
