Author Description

Excerpt from En Dahabièh du Caire aux Cataractes: Le Caire; Le Nil; Thèbes; La Nubie; L'Égypte Ptolémaïque; Ouvrage Orné de Neuf Gravures sur Bois Et c'est un spectacle qui a bien sa grandeur que celui de ce jeune khédive, bouillant de patriotisme, animé de fiers ins tincts, mais incapable par moment de contenir son trop légi time ressentiment, et qui, comme un lion du désert en cap tivité, frémit d'un noble courroux et tente de courageux ef forts pour briser les barreaux de fer de sa prison dorée.
