Bonaparte in Egypt and the Egyptians of To-day

Description

Many years went by when Haji first had the thought of jotting this book, but it was not until around two years before that he found time to make a first draft of the kind he wanted it to have. In the interim, he has been needing each time to arrange it sideways wholly and, at the most positive times, have never had over some hours a week to dedicate to it. He had already finished what he had aimed to be the final part, when circumstances happened that needed him to revise it, and, that he may do so duly, anticipate the problem of those occasions. As the volume now stays as it is at greatest but in a simple form.

Learning the Egyptian as Haji understands him, he cannot but assume that he is mostly misjudged, as well as by those who are humbly worried to make friends with him. His mistakes and his defeats are to be looked upon in general in around some of the marks of books that have of delayed years been drafted of him and his country; but, although not some have provided him repute for a few of his more striking qualities, still none that the author have observed have displayed some fair gratitude of him as he really is.

The book includes: The Story of One Hundred Years; Links with the Past; The Dawn of the New Period; A Council of State; The Proclamation that Failed; A Long March and a Short Battle; After the Battle; Victors and Vanquished; The Gathering of a Storm; The Bursting of the Storm; After the Storm; Peace without Honour; The Siege of Cairo; The Price of Peace; An Ungrateful People; Mahomed Ali and his Successors; Fachoda and After; Healthy Influences; Unhealthy Influences; More Unhealthy Influences; and To-day and To-morrow.
