TRAVELS IN THE UPPER EGYPTIAN DESERTS.
“Since the times of Eliot Warburton and Kinglake many writers have celebrated the delights of travel in the desert. None, I think, has realised the fascination of the desert more fully than Mr Weigall.”—Westminster Gazette.
John Ward, F.S.A. (author of ‘Pyramids and Progress,’ &c.), writes: “... The very best book of travel ... I have seen for years; so interesting that it can be read with pleasure by people who know not Egypt, and so unpretendingly scientific ... that to one who is an expert Egyptologist it is a treasure-trove. The language is so clear, the descriptive portions so graphic, and yet the style so simple, that the work is, in its way, a masterpiece. Then the clear type, the handy size, and the exquisite photographs make the book a rare possession.”
Demy 8vo. With Illustrations. 7s. 6d. net.
“Interesting and readable in no common degree.”—Scotsman.
THE TREASURY OF ANCIENT EGYPT.
Chapters on Ancient Egyptian History and Archæology.
Mr Weigall has performed a remarkable literary feat. He has truly made dry bones live, and has presented his researches in Egyptology in a manner so fascinating as to arouse the enthusiasm of the patrons of the circulating libraries. Of this volume it is enough to say that it is worthy of the author of ‘The Life and Times of Akhnaton.’
