Description
THE favorable reception by press and public, accorded to “The Boy Travellers in the Far East” is the author’s excuse for venturing to prepare a volume upon Egypt and the Holy Land. He is well aware that those countries have been the favorite theme of authors since the days of Herodotus and Strabo and many books have been written concerning them. While he could not expect to say much that is new, he hopes the form in which his work is presented will not be found altogether ancient.
The author has twice visited Egypt and has made the tour of Palestine and Syria. The experiences of Frank and Fred in their journeyings were mainly those of the writer of this book in the winter of 1873-’74, and in the spring of 1878. He has endeavored to give a faithful description of Egypt and the Holy Land as they appear today, and during the preparation of this volume he has sent to those countries to obtain the latest information concerning the roads, modes of travel and other things that may have undergone changes since his last journey in the Levant.
