Excerpt from The Monuments of Upper Egypt: A Translation of the Itine¿raire De La Haute E¿gypte, of Auguste Mariette-BeyI have endeavored to be faithful to the original text, keeping in View the author's idio syncrasy, and I have but seldom thought fit to avail myself of the discretionary power that had been given me. My task, I need scarcely say, has been a pleasant one, and I shall feel amply repaid for the trouble incurred if I can but think that I have in the very remotest degree con tributed to popularize Egypt's wonders, and to bring them and their English and American visitors into closer intercourse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
