In this 1879 book, Loftie gives details of visits to the famous sites, but, unusually, takes notice of the political state of Egypt, and is trenchant in some of his criticisms. He also goes off the beaten track, making excursions away from the river, rather than travelling only by boat.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the second half of the nineteenth century, accounts of the journey down the Nile became increasingly common. This narrative by William John Loftie (18391911), who wrote prolifically on travel, art, architecture and history, was published in 1879. (His A Century of Bibles is also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection.) Loftie spent in total about 15 months in the Nile valley over several seasons, and justifies his book by the rate of archaeological discoveries: 'books published even three years ago are already behind the times'. He gives details of his journeys to and from Egypt, and of visits to the famous sites, but, unusually, he takes notice of the current political and economic state of Egypt, and is trenchant in some of his criticisms. He also goes off the beaten tourist track, hiring donkeys to make excursions away from the river, rather than travelling only by boat. In this 1879 book, Loftie gives details of visits to the famous sites, but, unusually, takes notice of the political state of Egypt, and is trenchant in some of his criticisms. He also goes off the beaten track, making excursions away from the river, rather than travelling only by boat. This item is printed on demand.
