Excerpt from Egypt as It Is in 1838
That mightiest power of the earth, the steam engine, can be so applied, in different parts of the Nile, as to raise water into the canals, to supply at pleasure the lands Of Egypt, who now possesses the coals of Syria for her fur naces.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details Egypt's dramatic political developments and reforms in the 1830s and 1840s, presenting a comprehensive overview of the period. The author, a British diplomat who was a firsthand witness, argues that supporting Egypt under Muhammad Ali's ambitious modernization would be in the best interest of England, safeguarding its economic influence in the East. Muhammad Ali's rule saw Egypt become progressively more independent, reforming its government and military, expanding its industry, and improving its education and infrastructure. This transformation led to increased prosperity and stability, and laid the groundwork for Egypt's eventual autonomy as a nation.
