This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ...next morning, a few minutes before the Pacha came down to the river. When he saw everything prepared for him, as he had ordered, he congratulated himself upon the fact that he had but to speak, and impossibilities could be done. Of course, after this, he would be still more disinclined to believe any statement about difliculties, which his servants might make, however honest and true that statement might be. I heard another anecdote, which equally illustrates the despotic. character of those in authority, from the highest to the lowest. Mr. Lauria one day met a respectable native, who appeared to be suffering much pain, and in a state of great mental depression. He inquired the cause of his distress, and the man told him his tale. He had been a gardener of the Pacha, previous to his assumption of the government, and on that occasion was raised by his master to the office of overseer of a hundred men. In this capacity he received orders to take part in the preparation of one of the new palaces, which the Pacha was building, and a certain amount of work was expected of him and his party. This they performed satisfactorily; with the usual amount of beating. In a short time, however, forty of the men were drawn off to some other palace, and he was left to finish the work with the remainder. At the end of the first week, it was found, as a matter of course, that a smaller quantity of labour had been done by the diminished band, than when all had been engaged. This was complained of by the chief of a thousand men, and when the unfortunate headman of the hundred intimated, that it was not possible, with only three-fifths of his company, to do as much as he had done with the whole, he was answered in the identical words which we read in Exodus v....

From Herodotus's day to the present political upheavals, the steady flow of the Nile has been Egypt's heartbeat. It has shaped its geography, controlled its economy and moulded its civilisation. The same stretch of water which conveyed Pharaonic battleships, Ptolemaic grain ships, Roman troop-carriers and Victorian steamers today carries modern-day tourists past bankside settlements in which rural life – fishing, farming, flooding – continues much as it has for millennia. At this most critical juncture in the country's history, foremost Egyptologist Toby Wilkinson takes us on a journey up the Nile, north from Lake Victoria, from Cataract to Cataract, past the Aswan Dam, to the delta. The country is a palimpsest, every age has left its trace: as we pass the Nilometer on the island of Elephantine which since the days of the Pharaohs has measured the height of Nile floodwaters to predict the following season's agricultural yield and set the parameters for the entire Egyptian economy, the wonders of Giza which bear the scars of assault by nineteenth-century archaeologists and the modern-day unbridled urban expansion of Cairo – and in Egypt's earliest art (prehistoric images of fish-traps carved into cliffs) and the Arab Spring (fought on the bridges of Cairo) – the Nile is our guide to understanding the past and present of this unique, chaotic, vital, conservative yet rapidly changing land.
