PREFACE TO THE NINTH GERMAN EDITION.

  I have nothing to add to the ninth edition of "An Egyptian Princess"except that it has been thoroughly revised. My sincere thanks are dueto Dr. August Steitz of Frankfort on the Main, who has travelled throughEgypt and Asia Minor, for a series of admirable notes, which he kindlyplaced at my disposal. He will find that they have not remained unused.
