Synopsis
First published in 1905, this volume contains the findings of the British expedition to North Africa undertaken a year earlier. Essentially it is a study of the Berber Tribes of that region, particularly concerning their supposed connection with the people of ancient Egypt. However, a great deal of information on the general anthropology of the Berbers is included, and the work is also important for the study of the every day life and customs of the tribes indigenous to the area. This includes the social organisation, architecture, industry, housing and ceremonial life. The work, here reproduced in facsimile, incorporates a large number of photographs, many of ancient monuments now destroyed.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
