Excerpt from Egypt

Egypts - the historical land of the Pharaohs lying in the Nile Valley and the deserts, and modern Egypt - the em pire of the Khedive, which his grandfather, Ismail Pasha, so aptly said was no longer a part of Africa, but belonged to Europe. In this Egypt of the Twentieth Century there are hotels to please the most fastidious Americans and Europeans, fifteen hundred miles of railways with trains fitted with all the luxuries known to the present age, and automobiles and electric trains to the Pyramids.
