Excerpt from Below the Cataracts
This book is the record of a painter who has spent some years of study and of work in the Nile valley. He has pondered long over the strange beauty of the Egyptian monuments; and if, either by illustration or description, he now succeeds in aiding others to an appreciation of the wonder and the mystery of these remains of a most ancient civilisation, and of the picturesque ness of life in Egypt to - day, he will not have painted nor written in vain.
