Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on Two Expeditions to Midian
Some of the principal sites were astronomically determined by Commanders Ahmed Musallam and Nasir Ahmed, of the Egyptian navy. The task of mapping and planning was committed to the two young Staff-lieutenants sent for that purpose. With the able assistance of Mr. William J. Turner, of the Royal Geographical Society, who found the work harder than he expected, their sketches have been reduced to tolerable shape. Still, the map is purely provisional; and, when mining operations shall begin, a far more careful survey will be required.
