Overview

An interesting curio, a short Trollope tale and a tale of C19th travel to Egypt. Only really of interest as a curio.

Content and Themes

It is, as you might expect, a bit sexist and a bit certain of Britain's place in the world. Some might deem it a bit racist too as the Arabs aren't portrayed well but anyone who has been to Egypt will know the inexorable persistence of beggars is actually well drawn.
