Excerpt from Pyramids and Progress Ooks upon Egypt are numerous, but for good ones there is still plenty of room. The country and its people are changing rapidly; even the climate, it is said, is sharing in the general movement, and writers are needed to record not only what is passing away but also what is taking its place. Nowhere else in the world can we find the past and the present ranged as it were SO closely side by side or so incongruously mingled together. The newest agricultural steam engine from Europe is driven by a fellah, whose brother works the neighbouring field with the mattock of the Pharaohs, and the electric tram in Cairo hurries past street corners and scenes of life which transport us to the days of the Arabian Nights. The Pyramids look down Upon one Of the most comfortable and luxurious of modern hotels, and the fragment of a vase that was made in the reign of Khufu lies in the desert sand by the Side Of an empty sardine tin. The soil and climate of Egypt are more conservative than its inhabitants; the latter are beginning to change, at all events outwardly, under the influences of the English Occupation, but the monuments of the past retain all their pristine fresh ness and colouring, in a land where there is neither frost nor rain, if only the friendly sand conceal them from the destructive hand of man.

Excerpt from Our Sudan: Its Pyramids and Progress A few years ago I published a little book on Egypt, entitled Pyramids and Progress, which Lord Cromer allowed me to dedicate to him. At that time the Sudan owas in the hands of the Dervishes and inaccessible. Now, thanks to Lord Kitchener, it is under the British flag. And being Open to all the world, is likely to be visited, in yearly increasing numbers, by the pleasure seeker, the archaeologist, and the promoter of commercial enterprise. In the hope of being of service to some of these, I have undertaken my present task, and shall be more than repaid if I succeed in arousing in them one tithe of the interest which I have experienced in the study of this remarkable country. The new territory is enormous compared with Egypt, and in consequence a larger volume, and one on somewhat different lines from my earlier work, was necessary. Lord Kitchener asked me to dedicate the book to him, and this compliment inspired me with a desire to do my best.

Excerpt from The Great Pyramid Jeezeh With some, it consists in attempting to solve the hidden mysteries of the future life, through the agency of some one of the eleven hundred different faiths, as to who, or what is Deity. With others, the mineralogical fields are explored, with the expectation of finding the original atom of matter without combination, with side issues of all other isms and ologies that exist.

Excerpt from The Storehouses of the King: Or the Pyramids of Egypt, What They Are, and Who Built Them Their immense size, their solid construction, the lonely positions in which they are placed, add to the amazement of the spectator. Many conjectures and assertions have been made regarding them. Some assert they were the tombs of the kings of Egypt, and others differ, and say they were built for astronomical purposes; and those who give up guessing or speculating regarding them, con sider they were the tokens of the folly and tyranny of the rulers of Egypt. All travellers, and learned men and women who have visited these gigantic monuments, admit their grandeur, and admire their sublimity.

Excerpt from The Great Pyramid of Jizeh: The Plan and Object of Its Construction Considerable thought led to some conclusions which were taken as guides in investigation. Professor Smyth was convinced that the mass held treasures of knowledge - not of a lost civilization, but laid up under the dictation ofa divine power. For, if such treasures did exist (such seems the running of his thought), it was less marvelous to judge that they were thus given, than that they be longed to that of which every possible vestige but this one had vanished off the face of the earth.
