Egyptian Literature has of late years attracted particular attention. All that has come down to us of the Language and Literature of ancient Egypt is contained in the Coptic, Sahidic, and Bashmuric Dialects; and in the Enchorial, Hieratic, and Hieroglyphic Inscriptions, and Manuscripts. The importance of the Ancient Egyptian Language to the Antiquary, will at once appear, when we consider that the knowledge of it is necessary before the inscriptions on the Monuments of Egypt can be properly understood, and the Enchorial and Hieratic Manuscripts can be fully deciphered. Nor is it of less importance to the Biblical Student, The Egyptian Versions are supposed to have been made about the second century; and if they were not the first, they certainly were among the most early Translations of the Scriptures into the Languages of the East: and perhaps the Egyptian New Testament is of equal or even of greater authority than any of the ancient Versions.

* This is one of the oldest books in English about Coptic Grammar, It gives a good idea about the Coptic Language as spoken by Copts in the 19th Century.

Demotic is the name applied to both a script and a stage in the development of the Egyptian language. The stage of the language called Demotic shows affinities with both Late Egyptian, its predecessor, and Coptic, its successor. It was presumably much closer to the spoken language, especially when it first came into use, than was the archaic "classical" language preserved in religious texts and hieroglyphic inscriptions. The Demotic script is the most cursive one developed by the Egyptians. It was first used under Psammetichus I (ca. 650 B.C.), early in the Twenty-sixth, or Saite, Dynasty. By the end of that dynasty, Demotic had become the standard script for business and everyday affairs.
This grammar is intended solely as a teaching aid. It does not intend to be a reference grammar for Demotic as a whole or even for the text of 'Onchsheshonqy from which the vast majority of the examples are taken. The examples are presented in as "clean" a form as possible in order to aid recognition by the beginning student.

With introduction, critical apparatus, and literal English translation
"This edition of the North Coptic Version of the New Testament was undertaken at the suggestion of Dr. Wallis Budge, Keeper of the Egyptian Department of the British Museum. The original idea was to ascertain the character of the MSS., and to print a text with various readings of ten or twelve authorities. After the collation of thirty MSS. of the Gospel of S. Matthew, of three Lectionaries, of the Curzon Catena, and the sufficient examination, of six other MSS-, it seemed best to give the result of this work in full, thereby saving the labour and time of other investigators in a somewhat thankless field, where the recent date of all the MSS. deprives them of great interest."

Volume IV
Contains the Catholic Epistles and the Acts of the Apostles; edited from MS. Oriental 424; the Apocalypse; edited from MS Curzon 128 in the care of the British Museum.
