About This Book
"Description of Egypt was the product of Lane's first research trip to Egypt from 1825 to 1828. Comprising nearly 300,000 words and 160 illustrations, it is a fascinating and multifaceted work. Its basic structure is a travelogue that recounts Lane's travels through Egypt and Nubia. Onto that framework, Lane added extensive excursions into Egyptian history, geography, city and village life, and especially antiquities, as he presented detailed descriptions of most of the major archaeological sites between Alexandria and the Second Cataract - all in polished prose and pictures." "This book will be of interest to both ancient and modern historians of Egypt, and will become an essential companion to Lane's Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians."--Jacket.
