The book is a collection of papers that were inspired by his visit to Egypt at the end of 1869. Hamley was a British army officer and writer who was fascinated by the ancient history and culture of Egypt. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of Egyptian life and culture. Hamley writes about the ancient pyramids and temples, the modern cities and towns, the people and their customs, and the natural beauty of the country. He also delves into the political and social issues of the time, including the British occupation of Egypt and the tensions between the ruling Ottoman Empire and the Egyptian people.Throughout the book, Hamley offers his own observations and insights into Egyptian life and culture, drawing on his experiences and interactions with the people he met during his visit. He also includes historical and cultural background information, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the country and its people.Overall, A New Sea And An Old Land: Being Papers Suggested By A Visit To Egypt At The End Of 1869 (1871) is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Egyptian history and culture. Hamley’s writing is engaging and insightful, and his passion for the subject matter shines through on every page.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
