This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Atrocities of Justice, Under British Rule in Egypt So, too, the pretence of legality in the trial has been gradually shifted to that of military necessity, if not by Sir Edward Grey, at least by his supporters in the English Press. As early as the 14th of October the Cairo correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, after a tour in the Delta, wrote as follows: - "The bogey of 'unrest in Egypt' is, I trust, buried... I grant that in the neighbourhood of Tantah there is much bitter feeling, a feeling that one can well understand in view of the Denshawai deplorable business. Britishers here have a particular and proper pride in supporting whatever action may be taken by the British authorities, and yet I have up to the present not met a single Englishman whose business keeps him in constant contact with the true fellaheen who has not deplored the reprisals taken by us at Denshawai. But this is apart from the important and insistent question, 'Is there unrest in Egypt?' Again I say there is no foundation for the assertion that there' is unrest." Nevertheless, in spite of its admissions, our Government has done nothing at all to atone for its agent's great mistake. Lord Cromer has returned to Egypt without a word of official reproof; his subordinates have neither been dismissed nor censured. No promise has been given of a repeal of the abominable decree of 1895, nor any engagement taken that like judicial atrocities shall not on like occasions be repeated. Worst of all, the villagers condemned by the mock tribunal of Shibin-el-Kom are still undergoing their sentences of hard labour, unrelieved by prospect of release. Among them, be it noted, is the husband of the peasant woman wounded by the officer's gun fired in the pigeon-shooting raid!

Download or read book Great Britain Egypt and the Suez Canal Classic Reprint written by F. Egerton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Britain, Egypt, and the Suez Canal Most people seem to believe that we have in Egypt a vital interest which we are bound, more than other nations, to defend, in the free and unrestricted use Of the Suez Canal. Few seem disposed to question the doctrine that the open passage through the Suez Canal is indis pensable to the commercial prosperity, to the political greatness, and to the very integrity Of the British Empire. An attempt, then, to demonstrate the fallacy Of the popular idea that through Egypt and the Suez Canal Our enemies can strike at our mercantile greatness and at our imperial power, is not likely to meet with a favourable hearing. Yet I hope to show this, and illustrate it from my own personal experience. And if it can be done, it is worth trying to do it. For it is of the utmost consequence that we should all under stand Our real stake in the Suez Canal. This once clearly understood, we shall not be liable to panic; we shall not let ourselves be drawn into complications, wasteful Of the blood Of our citizens and the substance of our country complications, moreover, which constantly expose us to the danger Of becoming involved in a European war.

Download or read book Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt written by Wilfrid Scawen Blunt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt: Being a Personal Narrative of Events When I first arranged with Mr. Blunt to publish The Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt, I suggested that he write for the American Edition a brief foreword bringing the book into even closer relation to the anglo-egyptian situation as it stands today. He thought this idea a good one, and agreed to write such a note. But Mr. Blunt was born in 1840, and has for a number of years been in failing health. In June he wrote me that he was so ill as to be quite unable to finish the foreword, which he had actually commenced to write. He felt further more that any advantage the edition would gain by having a new preface by him would be more than counterbalanced by any delay in the appear ance of the book at the present extremely critical moment. He remarked further: What could I have said more appropriate to day as a new preface than the few words which already stand as the short preface I set to the first edition of my Secret History (published in Lon don and which you reprint in this new edition). This and my poem The Wind and the Whirlwind (which you also give as an Appendix). Both are absolutely true of the present shameful position of England in Egypt and the calamity so closely threatening her Eastern Empire. What could I say more exactly suited? This is the punishment we are reaping today for our sin of that sad morning on the Nile which saw the first English gun open its thunder of aggression just forty years ago at Alexandria in the name of England's honour. What could I add to my words of grief and shame then uttered and repeated here? Let these stand for my new preface. My day is done. Alas! That I should have lived to see those words come true of England's punishment, more than true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Egypt Under the Pharaohs, Vol. 1 of 2: Derived Entirely From the Monuments The necessity for a new English Edition of the History of Egypt under the Pharaohs has pleased the German Author as much as it has filled him with gratitude towards the reading public in England. Far from believing that he could claim for his book the merit of having solved, even approximately, the endless difficulties of a continuous exhibition of the history of the ancient land of the Pharaohs, he regrets to be obliged to confess that his work is only an attempt to piece together the loose and crumbling stones of a building, which the ever-wasting tooth of time and the destroying hand of man have swept off the face of the earth almost to its foundations while a kind fortune has preserved but few remains of it to the present day. Such an attempt must therefore appear alike bold and of doubtful success; and a great responsibility has been laid upon the Author, whose zeal and efforts have been impeded on all sides in the search for the articulate witnesses of historical antiquity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Egyptian Problem At a time when self-government is recognised more clearly than ever before to be the keystone of the British Empire and has been set before the peoples of the greatest of our Oriental dependencies as the goal which they also shall reach, it is not unreasonable that Egypt should claim something of the same boon as the corollary of the permanent association With the British Empire into which we sought to force her during the war by the proclamation of a British Protectorate. Were that her Whole claim, few if any responsible Englishmen would refuse to go a long way to satisfy it Without questioning too closely the actual fitness of the Egyptians to govern themselves. But the Egyptian Nationalists, who have at least temporarily carried the bulk of their articulate fellow-countrymen With them, go much further than that.
