PREFACE
THE SECOND EDITION.
The kind reception given to this work having created a
demand for a second edition, the compiler has endeavored to
add to the interest of the book by the insertion of a new chap-
ter descriptive of localities on the Nile, derived from the latest
and most authentic sources.
To make room for the insertion of this new matter, the
journal appended to the former edition has, in this, been
omitted.
