Guerville, A. B. de. New Egypt. **$5. Dutton.
“A book of description combining history, geography, and travel.... M. de Guerville has found that there really is a new Egypt, and that, moreover, it is quite willing to be studied and analyzed.” (R. of Rs.) “For the most part the illustrations in the present work are portraits of well known natives, types, and scenes, as well as pictures of English and French personages connected with Egypt’s recent history.” (N. Y. Times.)
“If scandal is more amusing to his mind than politics, we do not blame him, for the scandal adds colour and merriment to his narrative. Nor should it be forgotten that his observation is as honest as it is quick.”

“A very entertaining book, which no one who concerns himself with things Egyptian can afford to pass by.”
