Excerpt from The Land of the Monuments: Notes of Egyptian TravelHE serial publication of papers entitled, Notes of a Visit to Egypt, has led to numerous and repeated requests that an extended account should be published, including the voyage up the Nile to Wady Halfah and the Second Cataract, with notices of the monuments of Ancient Egypt. The present volume has, therefore, been compiled, and is offered with the earnest hope that The Land of the Monu ments may meet with the same kind approval which was accorded to the Notes of a Visit to Egypt. A few illustrations have been introduced from original sketches taken from time to time during the voyage by my daughter. I have no knowledge of Arabic as a language, and wherever Arabic words occur they are rendered phonetically. I desire to express my thanks to Dr. W. Wright for writing the introduction to this volume, to Dr. W. Robertson Nicoll, Rev. G. Wilson, Mr. R.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
