Sere ice.
Carefully abridged.

impartiagy stated, and the false accounts of Ganeril nier,
Denun, and other French Writers, exposed and corrected.
Together with a Retrospective View of the political impor-
tance and the present state of Egypt; a .(1 the proceedings of
the French previous to the arrival of the British. Including a
general acconi,t of the Antiquities, Conquest, Monuments,
Manners, Peculiarities, and Productions of that Country.
Nothing can give the Reader so just an idea of the value of
this Work, a: the following Criticism from the British Critic,
Date mber 1802.
" It is with the truest patriotic pride and heart-felt satisfac-
tion, that we undertake the pleasing Labour of giving an ac-
count of a work, which trees so usable a monument to British
glory."
" The Laurefs won by our gallani Soldiers in Egypt must
flourish, as long as it is in the power of human ability to per-
pstuate the effurts of human V4lotir ; this Narrative is giver, to
the World' by an Officer of great RepUtation, who was present
at all the scenes►lie so forcibly ileserihtts."
