TRAVELS IN THE
UPPER EGYPTIAN DESERTS.
“Since the times of Eliot Warburton and Kinglake manywriters have celebrated the delights of travel in the desert.None, I think, has realised the fascination of the desert morefully than Mr Weigall.”—Westminster Gazette.
John Ward, F.S.A. (author of ‘Pyramids and Progress,’&c.), writes: “... The very best book of travel ... Ihave seen for years; so interesting that it can be read withpleasure by people who know not Egypt, and so unpretendinglyscientific ... that to one who is an expert Egyptologist it is atreasure-trove. The language is so clear, the descriptive portionsso graphic, and yet the style so simple, that the work is, in itsway, a masterpiece. Then the clear type, the handy size, and theexquisite photographs make the book a rare possession.”

“Interesting and readable in no common degree.”—Scotsman.

Mr Weigall has performed a remarkable literary feat. He hastruly made dry bones live, and has presented his researches inEgyptology in a manner so fascinating as to arouse the enthusiasmof the patrons of the circulating libraries. Of this volume itis enough to say that it is worthy of the author of ‘The Life andTimes of Akhnaton.’
