Breasted was a renowned Egyptologist in the late 1800's/early 1900's. He wrote quite a few books, mostly about Egypt.
While the book is in the public domain and you can find other editions than this one scattered over the Internet, this freebie has at least one advantage over some of them: this one has a clickable table of contents. The book's a keeper for me.
I am not familiar with Amulet Press, so I'm going to do some research on them. Maybe I can find some other freebies from them.
Thanks for your post.
