Handbook for Travellers in Egypt

Handbook for Travellers in Egypt Synopsis

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The original Handbook for Egypt was a reprint of Sir Gardner Wilkinson's learned and exhaustive work, Modern Egypt and Thebes,' corrected and revised by the erudite author himself, so as to meet as far as possible the requirements of a guide-book. A few additions and corrections were sub sequently made from time to time, but substantially the Handbook remained the same as when it was first published. Great changes, however, have taken place in Egypt since then, and it was felt that a thorough revision, and even recasting, were necessary in order to bring the Handbook Up to the standard required by travellers at the present day.
