Excerpt from Voices From the Orient: Or the Testimony of the Monuments, of the Recent Historical and Topographical Discoveries, and of the Customs and Traditions of the People in the Orient, to the Veracity of the Sacred Record
I feel thankful to God for His merciful protection during my many wanderings in the far East. The spirit that finally culminated in a declaration of war in 1882 against Britain, and an appeal to arms was felt every day, in the bazaars, mosques, and other public places. Rumours of war were heard everywhere. The Mahommedans concealed their fierce hatred and haughty insolence by the thinnest veil, and only the fear of death restrained them from murder. Then it needed the utmost caution to visit Egypt in safety.
To my congregation I feel grateful for their liberality, and also to a few intimate friends, by whose aid I have been enabled to realize one of my life desires.
