PREFACE
THE serial publication of papers entitled, " Notes
of a Visit to Egypt," has led to numerous and
repeated requests that an extended account should
be published, including the voyage up the Nile to
Wady Halfah and the Second Cataract, with notices
of the monuments of Ancient Egypt The present
volume has, therefore, been compiled, and is offered
with the earnest hope that "The Land of the Monu-
ments" may meet with the same kind approval which
was accorded to the " Notes of a Visit to Egypt." A
few illustrations have been introduced from original
sketches taken from time to time during the voyage
by my daughter. I have no knowledge of Arabic
as a language, and wherever Arabic words occur they
are rendered phonetically.
1 desire to express my thanks to Dr. W. Wright
for writing the introduction to this volume; to
Dr. W Robertson Nicoll, Rev. G. Wilson, Mr. R.
