This classic work of popular Egyptology has served for many years and in many editions as an indispensable guide for students, amateur enthusiasts and professional Egyptologists. The English translation by Amelia Edwards (reissued here in the 1902 fifth edition) was influential in generating public interest in Egyptology in Britain.
This authorised English translation of Gaston Maspero's classic French work of Egyptology introduced the subject to an enthusiastic British public.
