	The French Academy
		At the head of the Academy were three officers: a director, to preside at its meetings; a chancellor, to have the custody of its archives and the seal; a perpetual secretary, to prepare its work and keep its records.
		Twenty-four members were elected to the French Academy before they were twenty-three years of age; twenty-three were at least seventy years of age before their reception took place; fifteen died before reaching the age of forty-five; eighteen were about ninety years old when they died and two lived to be almost centenarians.
		The Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres deals with the history, geography, and antiquities of France, with Oriental, Greek, and Latin antiquities, the history of science among the ancients, and comparative philology.

	Academies of Belles Lettres
		Of their academies, by far the most celebrated was the Accademia della Crusca or Furfuration; that is, of Bran, or of the Sifted.
		In 1690 the Academy or Society of arcadians was established at Rome, for the purpose of reviving the study of poetry.
		Nor is the academy wholly exonerated by M. Livert's ingenious defence, that there are but eight marshals in the French army, and yet the number has never appeared too restricted; for its most ardent admirers will not assert that it has, as a rule, chosen the forty most distinguished living authors.

	Academies of Archaeology and History
		Their meetings were principally occupied with discussing the inscriptions, statues, and pictures intended for the decoration of Versailles; but M. Colbert, a really learned man and an enthusiastic collector of manuscripts, was often pleased to converse with them on matters of arts, history, and antiquities.
		By a new regulation, dated the 16th July 1701, the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Medals was instituted, being composed of ten honorary members, ten pensioners, ten associates, and ten pupils.
		During the earlier years of the French Revolution the academy continued its labours uninterruptedly; and on the 22d of Janury 1793, the day after the death of Louis XVI., we find in the Proceedings that M. Brequigny read a paper on the projects of marriage between Queen Elizabeth and the Dukes of Anjou and Alencon.

		Academies, therefore, as central organs of the intellectual life of the nation, acquainted with the progress of the human mind at home and abroad, cause the public to share that progress by means of oral discussion, by their periodical transactions, and by all the means which the greatest publicity can suggest.
		In 1816 the institute was reorganized as the French academy, the academy of inscriptions and belles-lettres, the academy of sciences, and the academy of fine arts.
		The memoirs of the academy are published annually, and contain biographies of distinguished Swedes, the compositions which have taken the prize for eloquence and poetry as well as literary, historical, philosophical and philological dissertations by members of the academy.

		In 1744, he went to Paris and became secretary to M. de Boze, keeper of the medals at the King's Library, and three years later he was elected to the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres.

		I am far from wealthy enough to pursue first-editions of these historiographic works; with the exception of the limited-edition exhibition guide to the Treasures of Tutankhamun collection which toured the States in 1976, these volumes are all reproductions, reprints and modern editions.

		This volume is a beautiful reproduction of Champollion's 1822 letter to the Secretary of the Royal Academy of Inscriptions and Belles-Lettres after he decoded the Rosetta Stone.
