Egyptian Days. By Philip S. Marden. (T. Fisher Unwin. 8s.

6d. net.)—This record, made by an American visitor to Egypt, is primarily intended to be useful to other tourists. The first part of the book describes Cairo and the Pyramids, with chapters on the history and religion of ancient Egypt, whilst the second is devoted to a diary of the author's journey up the Nile. We note with pleasure Mr. Marsden's opinion that the British domination "has been of incalculable benefit" to Egypt, and that the Civil Service "is highly efficient and is justified a thousand times over by its works."
