History Of Ancient Egypt 11 Historic Books On CD

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.

My object in writing this book is twofold. In the first place, I wish to place on record an accurate narrative of some of the principal events 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.

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.

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."

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.

My object in writing this book is twofold. In the first place, I wish to place on record an accurate narrative of some of the principal events 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. The accidents of my public life have afforded me special opportunities for compiling certain chapters of Egyptian history.

It is not within the scope of this work to write a detailed history of the military operations which took place in the Soudan. Those operations have been recorded by others who are more competent than myself to deal with military matters. I propose, therefore, as in the case of the Egyptian
campaign of 1882, merely to give a brief summary of the chief events connected with the Nile Campaign of 1884-85.
