coffee at Paris at the rate of five shillings a pound ?
I brought away a bag of this sweet-scented berry of
the Arabian coffee-tree. The trunk which con-
tained it' has retained the perfume for years, and
every time it was opened the fragrance was com-
municated. I even showed it to some people to
.satisfy themselves of the difference which existed
between this coffee, and that which was sold in
France for real Mokka.

In conversation with Malliim Poclor I expressed
a desire to visit the coasts of the Red Sea, and he
offered to get me conducted to Cosseir in safety. I
promised to avail myself of his proposal, but it was
first necessary that I should see the Scheick Isma'in-
Abou-Ali. I had given him my word to wait for
him at Neguade, and I returned thither with my
monk, after having been loaded with civilities by
the Copht of Kous.
I employed the stay which I was obliged to make
at Neguade, in collecting different observations cal-
culated to procure me an intimate acquaintance
with the countries in which I then was. I directed
my first inquiries to the most important considera-
tion, to that which has been, in all ages, a subject
of admiration, the fertility of the lands of Upper
Egypt.
