An account of the manners and customs of the modern Egyptians

Transcriber’s Note:
Footnotes have been collected at the end of the text, and are linked for ease of reference. Illustrations have been moved to fall on paragraph breaks.
There are a number of musical scores in the text, which appear here as images, with the lyrics given after each line. These are repeated in a light green block, including hyphens to render the phrasing. Several of the songs are followed by the complete lyrics as poetry.
The front cover, which had only an embossed decoration, has been augmented with information from the title page, and, as such, is added to the public domain.
Any corrections are indicated using an underline highlight. Placing the cursor over the correction will produce the original text in a small popup.
Any corrections are indicated as hyperlinks, which will navigate the reader to the corresponding entry in the corrections table in the note at the end of the text.
