Conditon is overall Very Good-.** Frederic Courtland Penfield (1855-1922) was the United States diplomatic agent to Egypt from 1893 to 1897. Those years furnished him with the material for his book about contemporary Egypt, aimed at the layperson rather than the Egyptologist. Penfield later served as the United States Ambassador to Austria-Hungary from 1913 to 1917.** During the period of United States neutrality (1914-1917) in World War I, Penfield met Michael Francis Doyle, to whom this copy is inscribed. Doyle (1875-1960), a native of Philadelphia, received his law degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 1897. He represented the United States Government on many occasions, beginning in 1915, when he was appointed special agent of the State Department to provide for American citizens in Europe at the beginning of World War I. It was in this way that the two men met, and it explains how a book about Egypt at the turn of the 20th century has an inscription dated "Wien, 10 Oct. 1914."** Second edition, revised and enlarged, copyright 1903. This copy printed 1907.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight. AbeBooks shipping quotes are ESTIMATES only. Seller Inventory #010431"**.
