Westergaard. In Germany, much has been written and some in France. These papers are chiefly in antiquarian or philological Transactions and are scarcely known here. A full account of the discovery in question, of its progress and present state, seems therefore necessary. t Grotefend's Essay on the cuneiform inscriptions, in Heeren's Asiatic Nations. Vol. II. P. 334, THE PROGRESS OF ETHNOLOGY. 87 traits are inscriptions ; these it was natural to suppose related to the person represented, and if ...so, contained the name of the king and his titles. Such would be the con- clusion of any one who reflected on the subject, and such was the belief of M. Grotefend and other philologists. In these inscriptions one group of characters was repeated more frequently than any other, and all agreed that the decyphering of this group would furnish a key to the whole. On this group of characters then our Savans set to work. According to the analogy of the Pehlvi inscriptions, de- C3^hered by De Sacy, it was believed that the inscriptions then under consideration, mentioned the name of a king son of another king, that is the names of father and son.
