Excerpt from The Conflict of East and West in EgyptWhen the firman of the Sublime Porte made Me hemet Ali the governor of Egypt, in 1805, the coun try was in a state of feudalism. The pasha appointed by the Porte had been only the nominal ruler, the real government of the country being in the hands of the petty lords, or beys, known as the mam/2&5. They had deference neither for pasha nor for sultan. It is true that a small tribute was promised the Porte every time a new pasha was appointed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
