is an event which
possesses an interest for others
besides lawyers, and j there
seems no reason to question ei
ther the authenticity or antiqui
ty of the unique document
which Mr. Flinders Petri has
unearthed at Kahun, or as the
town was known 4,500 years
ago, Illahun. The document is
so curiously modern in form
that it might almost be granted
probate to-day. j . But in any
case it may be assumed that it
marks one of the earliest epochs
of legal history J and curiously
illustrates the continuity of le
gal methods. It is, however,
needless toe laborjat the value so
cially, legally and historically
of a will that dates back to pa
triarchal times. It consists of
a settlement male by one Sek
henren in the year 44, second
month of Pert, day 1 9-that is,
it is estimated the 44th of
Amenemhat IIIp or 2550 B. C,
in favor of his brother, a priest
of Osiris, of all his property
and goods; and oif another doc
ument, which bears date from
the time of Amenemhat IV, or!
2548 B. C. This latter instru
ment is, in form, nothing j more
nor less than a will, by which,
in phraseology that might well
be used to-day, the testator set
tles upon his wife Teta all the
property given Kim by his broth
er for life, but forbids her in
categorical terms to pull down
the houses "which my brother
built for me" although it em
powers ner to give tnem to any
of her children that she pleases.
A Lieutenant j Sibu is to act
as guardian of the infant chil
dren. This remarkable instru
ment is witnessed by two
scribes, with an j infestation
clause that might have been
drafted yesterday. The papy
rus is a valuable contribution to
the study of ancient law, and
shows with a graphic realism
what a pitch of ! civilization the
ancient Egyptians had reached
at least from a ! lawyer's point
ot view. It has I hitherto been
believed that in the infancy of
the human racejwills were prac-
negroes; they know just what
they want and need, arid if we
are left alone we will provide for
and take! care of them to their
satisfaction and our credit. Ve
are glad we continue to feel that
our affairs attract the attention
of I the North, and we! believe
that in our struggles upward we
have their sympathy, even as

did not exist, but in the early
ages it has so far been assumed
that they were never written,
but were nuncupatory, or de
livered orally, probably at the
death bed of the testator. Among
the Hindoos to this day the law
of succession hinges upon the
due solemnization or fixed cere
monies at the (lead man's fun
eral, not upon any.wTritten will.
And it is because early wills
were verbal only that their his
tory is so obscure. It has been
asserted that among the barba
rian races the bare conception
of a will was unknown; that we
must search for the infancy of
testamentary dispositions in the
early Roman law. Indeed, un
til the ecclesiastical power as
sumed the prerogative of inter
vening at every break in the
succession of the family, wills
did not come into vogue in the
West. But Mr. Petrie's papy
rus seems to slow that the sys
tem of settlement of disposition
by deed or will was long ante
cedently practiced' in the East.
