SELECTION FROM NOTICES BY THE PRESS

OF

_Egypt of the Pharaohs and of the Khedivé_.

By the Rev. F. BARHAM ZINCKE.

‘We have in this volume a thoughtful, almost exhaustive, treatment of a subject too often handled by mere _dilettante_ writers, who dismiss as unworthy of notice the problems with which they are unable to cope.... We heartily commend Mr. Zincke’s delightful book as a fresh pleasure to the thoughtful reader.’—SPECTATOR.

‘A more independent and original volume of Egyptian travel than at this time of day we should have thought possible. Mr. Zincke has a quickness of eye, a vigour of judgment, and a raciness of style which place him far above the ordinary run of travellers.... Readers will lose much if they do not make some acquaintance with this truly remarkable volume.’—LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

‘Each chapter takes some one topic, treats it in sharp, piquant style, and generally throws some new light upon it, or makes it reflect some new light upon something else. If these bright and sparkling pages are taken as containing suggestions to be worked out for oneself and accepted or rejected in the light of more mature knowledge, they will be found full of value.’—GUARDIAN.

‘Mr. Zincke speaks like a man of rare powers of perception, with an intense love of nature in her various moods, and an intellectual sympathy broad and deep as the truth itself.’—SATURDAY REVIEW.

‘A very pleasant and interesting book.... Mr. Zincke tells his readers exactly such facts as they would wish to know. The style is captivating.’—WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

‘A series of brilliant and suggestive essays.’—EXAMINER.

‘Mr. Zincke’s personal observations, original remarks, and practical views make him worthy of being consulted by all who desire to have something more than a picturesque and sentimental description of the peculiarities belonging to modern Egypt.’—ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS.
