THE NILE. Notes for Travellers in Egypt. BY E. A. WALLIS BUDGE, LITT.D., F.S.A., ACTING ASSISTANT-KEEPER IN THE DEPARTMENT OF EGYPTIAN AND ASSYRIAN SECOND EDITION. WITH A MAP, PLANS, &c. LONDON: THOS. COOK & SON, LUDGATE CIRCUS. CAIRO: COOK'S TOURIST OFFICE. 1892. [Entered at Stationers' Hall.] INTRODUCTION. Having for some years felt the insufficiency of the information given by Dragomans to travellers on the Nile, and finding with one or two striking exceptions how limited is their knowledge of facts relating to the history of the antiquities in Upper Egypt, Messrs. Thos. Cook and Son have arranged with Dr. E. A. Wallis Budge to compile the following pages, which they have much pleasure in presenting to every passenger under their Nile arrangements on their Tourist Steamers and Dhahabiyyehs. In this way passengers will no longer be liable to be misled (unintentionally) by Dragomans, but will be able at their leisure to prepare themselves for what they have to see, and thus by an agreeable study add to the interest with which their visits to the various places are made. 7 +13 ry |
