First sentence: THE famous slab of black basalt which stands at the southern end of the Egyptian Gallery in the British Museum, and which has for more than a century been universally known as the "Rosetta Stone," was found at a spot near to the sea, not far from the town of "Rashid," or as Europeans call it, "Rosetta."
