About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1878 Excerpt: ...holy man--the most holy man in Egypt--probably in the world. He is asleep, or feigns sleep, and one man walks along on each side to support him in the saddle. On they come, up to the row of prostrate men, and on to them, right along over their backs, treading on them, from one end of the row to the other rides the holy sheik, with his two supporters walking along, one on each side. The victims of this horrible piece of folly are volunteers. They are told that if they are holy they will not be hurt, and if they are under any guilt, and so become maimed, or lose their lives, their sin will be atoned by the great merit of the act, and all the rewards of paradise will be sure. They believe every word of it. Besides all that, there is the eclat of the occasion. The whole city will come together to see it. The beautiful women of the palace will look on and applaud such an act of heroic piety. Were any killed? I do not know. It is hard to get at the truth. Several were seen carried out by their friends in a helpless state. The American Vice Consul saw one whose back was broken. If he dies, as no doubt he must die, the fact will never be published. At night there was a great display of fire-works and dancing dervishes, and I know not what else, on the same ground. So is the birthday of Mohammed celebrated in the great city of Cairo, the capital of Egypt! It is both repugnant to my feelings and contrary to my practice to witness barbarous spectacles, but as I am seeing the world, especially in its religious aspects, not for myself only, but for others, I concluded to depart from my custom. For the same reason I have devoted so much space to it. The Dosee is a shocking reality. This sheik does ride on horseback over the backs of men lying close together on their face...
