About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: retarding the progress of good, causing fear and distrust, jealousy and liatred among men and nations. It is that deadly poison which has made man lose the perception of what is due to others in the all-engrossing thought of Self. It has been said that it were enough to make the very angels weep to see how we frail beings, whose life is brief as a summer's cloud, do spend it in warring with one another. We are so mutually dependent, that it would surely be supposed man would pause before wantonly fanning the embers of discord and strife, and severing those ties which bind him to his fellow- men. And yet, what do we see ? A nation without unity, wantonly breaking laws which nations have made in common accord to ensure peace and goodwill. Surely the snake1' is doing its work there ? Nearing the dim outlines of the towering minarets and gorgeous mosques of Cairo, a few hours more found us in the midst of narrow, unpaved streets, and bazaars, crowded with a confused medley of men, camels, and asses. It requires an effort to realise that this city?where idleness and apathy seem to dwell, where poverty has given place to opulence, and degradation to pride?was at one period the parent of a colony which founded the city of Athens, and introduced the worship of Minerva on the shores of Greece. How great the change ! The seat of learning dragged down to the very depths of ignorance and inertia! The rank grass of luxury and sloth flourishing unchecked, choking every stimulant to exertion, and deadening every incentive to improvement! Nevertheless, the Egyptians of the present day are not wholly wanting in attributes which would qualify them for a better state, and raise hopes for a brighter future. They possess an aptness for adapting themselves to the habits of Europe...
