Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Egypt Through the Stereoscope
In connection with the duties of university teaching and its modern Obligation to carry on constant research, it has also been my privilege during the last ten years, to begin the work of making a public wider than that of the university lecture-room, acquainted with the life, customs, history, and monuments of the ancient Egyp tians. In this latter attempt I have met with a number of different plans for private study, for class study, for lecture courses and the like, among women's clubs, ex tension centres, literary societies, and similar organiza tions. I have been and am still constantly appealed to for outline studies and lists of books, which Will furnish the individual student and the reading class or study circle with the material necessary for their study. Heretofore I have never been able to find any books or material which could furnish graphic reproductions of the remains still surviving in the ancient lands of the East, or of those lands and their people as they are to day, coupled with an adequate account of their long history, Of their life and customs.
