Breasted, James Henry.
History of Egypt, from the earliest times to the Persian
conquest. 1905 932 B71
Full of enthusiasm for the subject to which he has devoted his life, he
has contrived to look upon Egyptian history not as a succession of
widely scattered incidents, but as a regularly evolving whole; and a
smooth and easy, if not inspired, style enables him in most cases to
convey this impression to his readers. His book is the best so far at
the disposal of the general reader. Condensed from Athenccum, 1906.
Colquhoun, Archibald Ross.
The Africander land. 1906 968 072a
