Excerpt from In the Levant Portion of the journey is described in a volume published last summer, entitled My Winter on the Nile, among Mummies and Moslems, the second in the following pages. The notes of the journey were taken and the books were written before there were any signs of the present oriental disturbances, and the observations made are therefore uncolored by any expectation of the existing state of affairs. Signs enough were visible of a transition period, ex traordinary, but hopeful with the existence of pova erry, oppression, superstition, and ignorance were mingling occidental and Christian in¿uences, the faint beginnings of a revival of learning and the stronger pulsations of awakening commercial and industrial life. The best hope of this revival was then, as it is now, in peace and not in war. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
