Author Description

Excerpt from Pharaohs, Fellahs and Explorers The following chapters contain, with large additions, notes, and references, the substance of a course of lectures on ancient Egyptian subjects recently delivered in the United States of America. While necessarily recasting the form of these lectures, I have to some extent preserved the colloquial style-in the hope, I confess, of being the better remembered by those who have heard them. For permission to reproduce various illustrations from the works of Professor Maspero, MM. Perrot and Chipiez, Sir John Lubbock, and Mr. W. M. F. Petrie, I have to offer my grateful acknowledgments to Messrs. Grevel & Co., Chapman & Hall, Longmans, Williams Norgate, and the Committee of the Egypt Exploration Fund. The reproductions from Mr. W. M. F. Petrie's scries of original photographs are executed by special arrangement with Mr. Petrie. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
