Excerpt from Notes of Travel in Egypt, the Holy Land, Turkey, and Greece I am fully aware how imperfect is this attempt to de scribe the lands of the Bible, or to convey my own im pressions on visiting them. No words _of mine can ex press to you the happiness which I felt, and still feel, in those scenes, which have made the sacred vblume a new book to me, by giving a reality to its records, and illumi nating its every page. Egypt and Palestine, the land of bondage and the land of promise, are now no longer, as they once seemed to me, distant and unapproachable lands, overshadowed with mystery; but they are familiar as my own native land. The towns and villages, the fields and fountains, the 'hills and streams of syria-bethlehem, Bethany, and Nazareth, - Samaria, Sychar, and Galilee, Mount Zion, Moriah, and Olivet, - Tabor, and Hermon, and carmel, -tyre and Sidon, -are as distinctly before my mind's eye, while I write, as the well remembered scenes of my childhood; and touch a more responsive cord than they.

In this pioneering account of Egyptian educational history, Paul Sedra describes how the Egyptian state under Muhammad Ali Pasha sought to forge a new relationship with children during the nineteenth century. Through the introduction of modern forms of education, brought to Egypt by evangelical missions, the state aimed to ensure children's loyal service to the state, whether through conscription or forced labour. However, these schemes of educational reform, most prominently Joseph Lancaster's monitorial system, led to unforeseen consequences as students in Egypt's new modern schools resisted efforts to control their behaviour in creative and complex ways, and these acts of resistance themselves led to new forms of political identity. Tracing the development of a distinctly Egyptian 'modernity', From Mission to Modernity is indispensable for all those interested in Egyptian history and the history of modern education and reform.

This volume, the second of three, offers an anthology of Western descriptions of Islamic religious buildings in Syria, Egypt and North Africa, mostly from the seventeenth to early twentieth centuries, taken from travel books and ambassadorial reports. (The third volume will deal with Islamic palaces around the Mediterranean.) As travel became easier and cheaper, thanks to better roads, steamships, hotels and railways, tourist numbers increased, museums accumulated eastern treasures, illustrated journals proliferated, and photography provided accurate data. All three deal with the impact of Western trade, taste and imports on the East, and examine the encroachment of westernised modernism.
