Abstract
THIS is a compilation of miscellaneous information about “Egypt and the Egyptians, their History, Antiquities, Language, Religion, and Influence over Palestine and Neighbouring Countries,” written in old-fashioned style. It has no particular plan, and meanders about from one subject to another, but not unpleasantly. Sir G. H. Darwin, who disclaims “anything more than the superficial knowledge of Egypt which is open to any hurried tourist,” has done Mr. Bevan the honour of writing a preface to his little book, which will no doubt give considerable pleasure, and convey a good deal of information and instruction to many readers.
Egypt and the Egyptians.
By the Rev. J. O. Bevan. Pp. xxii+224. (London: George Allen, 1909.) Price 5s. net.
