PREFACE
a strengthened claim on the attention of the reader as from the pen of one who and whose fellow-travellers were among the last of the detachments of English tourists to visit Wady Haifa before the advance, and to look forth across its frontier over that far-stretching waste of anarchy into which the troops of Egypt, under the leadership of her protector, are now penetrating: under, it is true, the grudging and malevolent eyes of English Radicals, but with the hearty God-speed of every friend of order and good government and human happiness throughout the English-speaking world.
