VOL. I.

The annexed observations were made by my father up to the time of his death, and have been continued with, I hope, the same accuracy and attention.

We used an aneroid barometer, which we found had not varied the least during this long journey, when we compared it at Cairo on our return there. As the greater portion of the observations refer to the journey described in the first volume, they are introduced here, in preference to placing them at the end of the work.

FOOTNOTES:

[Footnote 1: Since the above remarks were written, public attention has been called to this neglected relic of antiquity through the all- powerful medium of _The Times_. In such hands the question may be very safely left; but surely the nation that can throw away untold sums on a fabric like the Marble Arch, can spare £2,000 for the preservation of this fine column, which, transplanted to English soil, might commemorate the deeds of an Abercrombie or a Nelson.]

[Footnote 2: The remains of the statue of Memnon, as well as a splendid obelisk at Karnac, are, like the prostrate Cleopatra’s Needle, the property of the English Government, but the wealthiest nation of the earth cannot afford the outlay required for their removal, and they are, therefore, left unclaimed.]

[Footnote 3: At 6½ P.M. on the 17th there was a partial eclipse of the moon, which lasted two hours.]
