First sentence: THE Pyramids of Egypt have been fertile sources of conjecture to both ancient and modern historians: the accounts given by them of their origin and of the objects of their construction are far from satisfactory; but vague as are their surmises, they nevertheless demand our attention, and present us with sufficient data to enable us to form our own opinions on the marvels of the Memphite nome.
