Présentation de l'éditeur
The letters which compose this volume, are the unstudied communications of aB rother to aS ister written for no other eye than hers, and printed solely with the hope of affording gratification to those by whom the character and talents of the lamented writer were well known. There are some among his friends, more devoted to antiquarian pursuits than himself, who may not concur in many opinions which he has expressed concerning Egyptian antiquities ;but these, being his own convictions, which he was too candid to conceal, can be perused only with kind and generous feelings. The letters, written amidst the inconveniences and hindrances of Eastern travel, contain, with a few notes appended to them, all that remaias of the writers descriptions of his journeyings in Egypt, Nubia, and Palestine, until within a few days of his arrival at Damascus, where it pleased God that they should terminate with his life.
