One makes an excursion by train to see some<br />ruins, and, upon returning to the station, the train is found to be late,<br />and an hour or more has to be dawdled away. Crossing the Nile in a<br />rowing-boat the sailors contrive in one way or another to prolong the<br />journey to a length of half an hour or more. The excursion steamer<br />will run upon a sandbank, and will there remain fast for a part of the<br />day.<br />The resident official, travelling from place to place, spends a great<br />deal of time seated in railway stations or on the banks of the Nile,<br />waiting for his train or his boat to arrive; and he has, therefore, a<br />great deal of time for thinking. I often try to fill in these dreary<br />periods by jotting down a few notes on some matter which has<br />recently been discussed, or registering and elaborating arguments<br />which have chanced lately to come into the thoughts. These notes are<br />shaped and written up when next there is a spare hour, and a few<br />books to refer to; and ultimately they take the form of articles or<br />papers, some of which find their way into print.<br />This volume contains twelve chapters, written at various times and<br />in various places, each dealing with some subject drawn from the<br />great treasury of Ancient Egypt. Some of the chapters have appeared<br />as articles in magazines. Chapters iv., v., and viii. were published in<br />Blackwoods Magazine; chapter vii. in Putnams Magazine and the<br />Pall Mall Magazine; and chapter ix. in the Century Magazine. I<br />have to thank the editors for allowing me to reprint them here.
