London, Downey & Co., 1895. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. Slight pushing to the spine tips, a light reading lean. From a contemporary Spectator review: "Any attempt to reproduce for the readers of the nineteenth century the social life and civilisation of Ancient Egypt deserves consideration. That that civilisation was a gorgeous one, and' that certain cults and sciences were carried to a high finish, there can be no doubt. Our author has used a free hand, but none too free, in painting the life of Egyptian society four thousand years ago. The heroine, who was a real Princess of the Twelfth Dynasty, and whose mummy was adorned with magnificent gold- smith's work, is betrothed to a noble, whom she throws over to enter the temple for the purpose of curing her father's blindness. Ultimately she becomes a woman again, and all ends happily. The tale is interesting as an attempt to revive a people's life and customs, and we can recommend it to all who feel the fascination of Egyptology." [11599, Hyraxia Books].
