The traveller and antiquary Henry Salt (1780-1827) hoped to become a portrait painter, but recognised his own limitations, and instead entered the employment of Viscount Valentia, embarking with him on an eastern tour in 1802. In 1805, Valentia sent him on a mission to improve relations with the rulers of Abyssinia. After a second expedition, this time on behalf of the British government, in which he made observations and collections of the local flora and fauna, he was appointed consul-general to Egypt, and in his spare time carried out excavations at Thebes and Abu Simbel. This two-volume work was published in 1834 by Salt's close friend, the painter J.J. Halls (1776-1853). Volume 2 describes Salt's later career in Egypt, as a diplomat and especially as a pioneering archaeologist, as well as his negotiations over the future of his own spectacular collection of Egyptian artefacts.--

Excerpt from The Life and Correspondence of Henry Salt, Esq. F. R. S. &C., His Britannic Majesty's Late Consul-General in Egypt, Vol. 2 of 2 Cation, and through other channels, at length in duced him to draw up, for the information of his friends in England, an account of the real circum stances of the case. He was unwilling at that period that it should be submitted to the public, from the wish of not injuring Belzoni, and was merely desirous that it should be shown to those among his friends whose good opinion he most valued; whether this request were complied with, in the generality of instances, I have no means of ascertaining - I only know that' I never even heard of the existence of such a statement till about a twelvemonth back, when it was placed with other papers in my hand, by a common friend, to publish it or not to publish it, as I might judge most expedient. Had the matter heen kept strictly private, I certainly Should have adopted the latter alternative; but as Mr. Bel zoni, in his work, has thought proper to lay before the public very unfounded assertions respecting the transaction, all delicacy on the subject appears to be at an end, and common justice requires that the memory of Mr. Salt should no longer suffer from the suppression of a document which gives a totally different colour to the transaction, and.
