 T IFE IN ANCIENT EGYPT AND ASSYRIA. 



^ ' By G. MASFERO, late Director of Archaeology in Egypt, and 

 Member of the Institute of France. Translated by ALICE 

 MORTON. With 188 Illustrations. I2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



" A lucid sketch, at once popular and learned, of daily life in Egypt in the time of 

 Rameses II, and of Assyria in that of Assurbanipal. ... As an Orientalist, M. Mas- 

 pero stands in the front rank, and his learning is so well digested and so admirably sub- 

 dued to the service of popular exposition, that it nowhere overwhelms and always in- 

 terests the reader." London Times. 



" Only a writer who had distinguished himself as a student of Egyptian and As- 

 syrian antiquities could have produced this work, which has none of the features of a 

 modern book of travels in the East, but is an attempt to deal with ancient life as if one 

 had been a contemporary \vith the people whose civilization and social usages are 

 very largely restored." Boston Herald. 



A most interesting and instructive book. Excellent and most impressive ideas, 

 also, of the architecture of the two countries and of the other rude but powerful art of 

 ,. the Assyrians, are to be got from it." Brooklyn Eagle. 



11 The ancient artists are copied with the utmost fidelity, and verify the narrative so 

 attractively presented." Cincinnati Times-Star. 



rUE THREE PROPHETS: Chinese Gordon; 

 Mohammed- A hmcd ; Araby Pasha. Events before, during,

 CHAILLE-LONG, ex-Chief of Staff to Gordon in Africa, ex- 

 United States Consular Agent in Alexandria, etc., etc. With 

 Portraits. l6mo. Paper, 50 cents. 



" Comprises the observations of a man who, by reason of his own military ex- 

 perience in Egypt, ought to know whereof he speaks. " Washington Post. 



" The book contains a vivid account of the massacres and the bombardment of Alex- 

 andria. As throwing light up^n the darkened problem of Egypt, this American 

 contribution is both a useful reminder of recent facts and an estimate of present situa- 

 tions." Philadelphia Public Ledger. 



" Throws an entirely new light upon the troubles which have so long agitated 

 Egypt, and upon their real significance." Chicago Times. 



MEMOIRS OF AN ARABIAN PRIN- 

 CESS. By EMILY RUETE, n/e Princess of Oman and Zanzi- 

 bar. Translated from the German. I2mo, Cloth, 75 cents. 

 The author of this amusing autobiography is half-sister to the late Sul- 

 tan of Zanzibar, who some years ago married a German merchant and settled 

 at Hamburg. 



"A remarkably interesting little volume. . . . As a picture of Oriental court life. 

 and manners and customs in the Orient, by one who is to the manner born, the book is 

 prolific in entertainment and edification." Boston Gazette. 



"The interest of the book centers chiefly in its minute description of the daily life 

 of the household from the time of rising until the time of retiring, giving the most com- 

 plete details of dress, meals, ceremonies, feasts, weddings, funerals, education, 

 slave service, amusements, in fact everything connected with the daily and yearly 

 routine of life." Utica (N. Y.) Herald.
