Excerpt from Wintering in Egypt: Hints for Invalids and Travellers The amateur who, after a brief visit to a land which other people do understand though he does not, ventures to give forth to the world a statement treating of the country in general, and to advance opinions as to what seem to him to be needed reforms, gains for himself well merited condemnation. In writing these pages we have therefore kept before us, as far as possible, our original intention to notice only one particular part of Egypt, a somewhat limited area about which our long residence on the spot had given us some right to speak. Our endeavour has been to throw light on an enjoyable way of spending the winter, and to record our experiences in a part of the world which is full of unique interest.
