The attitude of the author of The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, James Cross Giblin's towards Thomas Young is:

option number 1: Positive because Young shows the skills and determination to figure out the inscriptions

Notice the complimentary depiction the author makes of Young since an early age when he starts learning a large number of foreign languages, while the mention of the large inheritance from the wealthy uncle is brought up just in passing or matter-of-factly.
