Author Description

In this new publication, consisting chiefly of articles which appeared in the Christian World, the Echo, and the East Anglian Daily Times, the author makes no pretense to original information, or to have acted the part of an antiquarian explorer. He has simply gone over ground familiar to many, and to which all holiday-makers will turn in increasing numbers, partly for pleasure, and partly on account of the absorbing interest attaching to the route here briefly described. To such he offers his services as guide, philosopher and friend, trusting also that many who stay at home may be interested in the story here told.With regard to the illustrations, the author acknowledges the kindness of Dr. Lunn and Messrs. Cassell in allowing him the use of them, and especially is grateful to Miss Pollard, the daughter of the author of that valuable work, 'The Land of the Monuments,' for permission to use her sketch 'Dawn on the Great Sphinx,' which he has utilized for his frontispiece.
