A History of Egypt
From the earliest times to the Persian conquest
With 200 illustrations and maps
The ever
increasing number of those who visit the Nile Valley with every
recurring winter should alone form, it would seem, a sufficiently
numerous public to call for the production of a modern history of Egypt.
Besides these fortunate travellers, however, there is another growing
circle of those who are beginning to realize the significance of the
early East in the history of man.

Journal of Ancient Egypt, 1920-1923
"At last
it is justifiable again for writers to meet their friends in these
pages. Our perils as a nation are by no means over, but they do not need
to be met by every kind of energy that was required two years ago, to
save our civilisation from the flood of destruction. Great have been the
changes since the peace of the world was broken."

Ancient Egypt
by George Rawlinson
"In
shape Egypt is like a lily with a crooked stem. A broad blossom
terminates it at its upper end; a button of a bud projects from the
stalk a little below the blossom, on the left-hand side. The broad
blossom is the Delta, extending from Aboosir to Tineh, a direct distance
of a hundred and eighty miles, which the projection of the coast -- the
graceful swell of the petals -- enlarges to two hundred and thirty."

Ancient Egypt
by James Baikie
"If
we were asked to name the most interesting country in the world, I
suppose that most people would say Palestine -- not because there is
anything so very wonderful in the land itself, but because of all the
great things that have happened there, and above all because of its
having been the home of our Lord. But after Palestine, I think that
Egypt would come next."

Egypt
"A
night wondrously clear and of a colour unknown to our climate; a place
of dreamlike aspect, fraught with mystery. The moon of a bright silver,
which dazzles by its shining, illumines a world which surely is no
longer ours; for it resembles in nothing what may be seen in other
lands. A world in which everything is suffused with rosy colour beneath
the stars of midnight, and where granite symbols rise up, ghostlike and
motionless."

The Emancipation of Egypt
"I
am not one of those who hold that everything that has been done in
Egypt since 1882 is due to Englishmen. I am the first to recognise the
very important part which has been played in the revival of the country
by natives and other Europeans. I do not believe that the indefinite
continuance of British control in its present form is essential to the
ultimate welfare of Egypt."

A History of Events in Egypt from 1798 to 1914
"My
fellow-workers may ask why an Egyptologist, deserting for a while his
temples and his mummies, should meddle with modern affairs and politics.
I must, therefore, give my reasons for having turned my attention to
these nineteenth- and twentieth-century studies in Egyptian history. It
has lately been definitely proved that the ancient and modern Egyptians
are one and the same people. Anthropologically there is no real
difference between them, and it would seem that neither the Arab nor any
other invasion materially affected the purity of their blood."

object in writing this book is twofold. In the first place, I wish to

which have occurred in Egypt and in the Soudan since the year 1876. In
the second place, I wish to explain the results which have accrued to
Egypt from the British occupation of the country in 1882."
