As part of the settlement, the British ordered the scholars to hand over their treasures. The scholars protested. "Without us," they said, "this material is a dead language that neither you nor your scientists can understand." General Menou went so far as to claim that the Rosetta Stone was his personal property.

At last the British gave in and allowed the scholars to keep the bulk of their collections. But they insisted on taking the Rosetta Stone. Reluctantly, General Menou turned it over to the British general, Hutchinson. "You can have it," he said, "because you are the stronger of us two."
