The first of these was undertaken on a small scale in the year of the deposition of Ismail Pacha, as many a British tourist undertakes a far journey seeking relaxation and nothing more. Latterly these visits, decided on for other considerations, have been measured by the length of the whole winter. Sir Alfred Milner's work "England in Egypt' remains, as it began, the standard work on the Egyptian question, and several others-such as Mr. A. Silva White's "Expansion of Egypt" and Mr. W. Spencer Churchill's "River War"-have brought down information on many points to last year. It has occurred to the author that it was possible to write a short and comprehensive work continued to the end of the tragic period |
