Ten Years Digging in Egypt, 1881-1891

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Although the discoveries which are related in this volume have been already published, yet there is to be considered the large number of readers who feed in the intermediate regions between the arid highlands and mountain ascents of scientific memoirs, and the lush-l-not to say rank - marsh-meadows of the novel and literature of amusement. Those, then, who wish to grasp the substance of the results, without the precision of the details, are the public for whom this is written and I trust that, out of consideration for their feelings, hardly a single measurement or rigid 'statement can be found here from cover to cover. Any one who wants detail can find it in the various annual volumes which have already appeared. Several of the finest objects found appear here, however for the first time in illustration; for having been kept In Egypt I only had photographs to work from, which were, as yet, unused.
