Excerpt from The Old Egyptian Faith
The six lectures which compose the present volume were the first that were instituted at the College de France in terms of the Michonis endowment, and were delivered in 1905.
Their subject - the religion of the old Egyptians - covers too wide a field and raises too many different questions to permit us to make a complete study of it in so small a compass, or to enter into all the discussions to which this religion has given rise. I have accordingly selected six principal topics, the development of which appeared to me to be likely to afford us a general idea of the Egyptian religion, in spite of numerous omissions which the shortness of the time at my disposal rendered inevitable.
