Young's specific discoveries were these: That many of the pictures of the hieroglyphics stand for the names of the objects actually delineated; that other pictures are sometimes only symbolic; that plural numbers are represented by repetition; that numerals are represented by dashes; that hieroglyphics may read either from the right or from the left, but always from the direction in which the animal and human figures face; that proper names are surrounded by a graven oval ring, making what he called a cartouche; that the cartouches of the preserved portion of the Rosetta Stone stand for the name of Ptolemy alone; that the presence of a female figure after such cartouches in other inscriptions always denotes the female sex; that within the cartouches the hieroglyphic symbols have a positively phonetic value, either alphabetic or syllabic; and that several different characters may have the same phonetic value.
On the south side of the church, near the west end, is a forum or portal, the doorcase being enriched with cartouches, volutas, and fruit, very excellently carved under a pediment, and opposite to this on the north side is the like doorcase. And, in brief, all the apertures are not only judiciously disposed for commodiousness, illumination of the fabric, &c., but are very ornamental.
"Especially of those who went before if they happen to have hammered out their cartouches and usurped their monuments," said the queen, dryly, and looking him in the eyes. At this home-thrust the Pharaoh seemed to wince. Making no answer, he pointed to the royal woman who had mounted the steps at the end of the hall. Queen Cleopatra lifted her hand and stood thus for a while.
The finest specimen that I have seen, namely, one in the Gizeh Museum, is inscribed in black ink with the cartouches of Rameses III. The glaze of this brick is green, but other fragments are coloured blue, red, yellow, or white. The nature of the soil does not allow of deep foundations.
Jeremiah is then echoing Isaiah's word, 'Bring no more vain oblations. The picture gives very strikingly the hopelessness, so far as men are concerned, of any attempt to blot out this record. It is like the rock-cut cartouches of Egypt on which time seems to have no effect. There they abide deep for ever. Nothing that we can do can efface them.
The public armory in Charleston was broken open by night, and eight hundred stand of arms, two hundred cutlasses, besides cartouches, flints, matches and other necessary materials of war, were withdrawn without discovery. One party possessed itself of the public powder at Hobcau; another emptied Cochran's Magazine, while a third, as above stated, relieved the state armory of its contents.
Kohl pots were fashioned in the form of the lotus, cartouches sprang from it, wine flowed from cups shaped like it. The lotus was part of the very life of Egypt, as the rose, the American Beauty rose, is part of our social life of to-day.
Among the cartouches that follow we read the names of a Migdol, of Shebtuna, the modern Shebtîn, of Naun which reminds us of the name of Joshua's father, and of Haditha, now Hadîtheh, five miles to the west of Shebtîn. The list has thus led us to the foot of Mount Ephraim, and it is not surprising that the next name should be that of the Har or "Mountain" itself.
On cartouches and bands in the shape of stelæ were inscribed the titles of the Pharaoh and inscriptions in his honour. On the shafts of the huge columns were decorative or symbolical figures wearing the pschent, armed with the tau, following each other in procession, and whose eyes, showing full upon a side face, seemed to look inquisitively into the hall.
'Would three rupees twelve annas pay for the used cartridges? said the Havildar-Major. 'Attar Singh knew the just price. All Baynes Sahib's gear was in his charge. They expended one tin box of fifty cartouches, lacking two which were returned.
