Cairo.

One OF the most INTEREST," ng and Inn
portant volumes contributed to ~The Story
Of the Cities series liz entitled Cairo Mac
millans). The subject il obviously one
that could be treated adequately only by
All Arabic scholar, and the condition is
fully satisfied by the author, Mr.. STANLEY
LANE POOLE, well known by his published
writings, and also IA professor Of the Arabic
language and literature at Trinity College,
Dublin What we really have here within
the compass Of some three hundred closely
printed pages is not merely an account of
Cairo. but summary Of the whole history
of Egypt. from the date OF the Moslem
conquest to the present time. As such,
it can hardly he too highly commended,
either as regards the range and accuracy
Of the research, the results of which are
embodied in the text, or as regards the
cearness and efficiency Of the exposition
from literary viewpoint
1t Is fact not to be lost sight of that
what we have in Cairo is not "A Pharaonic,
Greek or Roman city, but an essentially
medieval town. OF all the Arab buildings
extant there is not one that in its present
state dates back to the Arab G conquest.
Before the Moslems invaded Egypt in A. d.
$40 there was no Cairo, and. to speak
strictly. there was none till three centuries
later, when Greek mercenary General
laid the foundations OF the palace city Of
the Fatamid Caliphs. which received the
name El-Kahira. twisted by Europeans
into Cahere, Caire and Cairo, 1t may be
remembered that Milton, in Paradise Lost"
refers to It as Al-Cairo. There was, how
ever. Moslem capital of Egypt from the
days Of the Conquest. and. though 1t was
not called Cairo, it lay close to the present
city, which may be described as an ex-
pansion or outgrowth Of the original town.
First rose the original Arab settlement,
Fustat, the town of the Tent In A. d. Cal.
To this was added in ISL a northeastern
suburb, the official residence of the Arab
Governors and their troops. hence named
AI-Askar. "the Cantonments, A new
royal faubourg, or small city. was built

independent Moslem King OF Egypt, lbn-
Tuun, about $50. and was known by the
name Of Al-Katai -the Wards. because it
was divided into separate quarters for
different nations and classes, So far the
three towns were practically contiguous.

yuIe,s Marco Pole Revised.

We have before US the two volumes,
published by the Scribnsrs, which COM
prise the revision In the light Of recent dis
ooveries by HENRI CoRDIER Of Col. JULES
we'll known and highly PRICED edition OF
The Book Of Ser Marco Polo. When We
bear In mind that Yules edition OF Marco
Polo's book was issued some thirty years
ago, We can feel no surprise that the neces-
atty Of revising 1t should be rScognized.
The work would have been performed by
Col. Yule himself had he lived, and 1t is
at the request Of his daughter that Prof.
Cbrdier has undertaken It. >, Va scarcely
need to point out the fscfthat during the
last quarter OF a century Persia has been
more thoroughly studied, that new routes
have been explored in Central Asia, that the
site Of Karakorum has been fully described
and that Western and Southwestern China
have been opened up to our knowledge in
many directions. The results Of these
investigations form tho main features OF
this new edition OF Marco Polo. We should
note, tina, whom Col. Yule himself brought
out his second edition, Baron F. Won Richt-
hofen, traveller who had trodden many
hundreds Of miles in the footsteps Of Marco
tOlO, q q been u1OTeu IHo htoii III VI SiAhASs
than Marco himself did, and who brought to
the survey high scientific accomplishments
Of which the Venetian had not even rudi-
mentary conception. had opened his bounti-
ful stores Of new information for COL Yule's
benefit. To the Rev. G. Moule Of the Church
Mission at Hang-chau Col. Yule's second
edition owed mass OF interesting matter
regarding that once great and splendid
city, the Kinsay of Marco Polo. We add
that the ruins of Shang-tu, the -Xanadu of
Kubla Khan, had even then been explored;
that Pamir, and Tangnt. had been rpene-
trated from side to side; that the famous
mountain road Of Shen-si had been trav-
ersed and described; that the mysterious
Caindu had been unveiled. and that the
publication Of Lieut.. Carriers work on the
French exploration Of Indo-China had pro-
vided a mass of information concerning
Yun-nan, about which previously Marco
Polo had been well nigh the most recent
authority. In the present notice we shall
confine ourselves mainly to Prof. Corder's
additions to Col. Yule's explanatory matter.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1903-10-04

In the space at our command we are
able to cite only one other curious passage
of Polo's narrative, which is elucidated
by NJ Cordier and other annoiaiors. In
the thirty-third chapter Of his second book.
the Venetian has something to say about
the astrologers In the city Of Cambaluc.
the Tartar name of Pekin, which kublai
kaan made the capital OF the Mongol En-
pire. There are" says Polo, "in tho city
Of Cambalic. what with Christians. sara
Gems and Cathayans. some 5000 ast rologers
and soothsayers, whom the Great kaan
provides with annual maintenance and
clothing. and they are in the constant ex-
ercise Of their art in this city Polo goes
on to say that they have a kind Of aNrolabe
on which are inscribed the planetary signs,
the hours and critical points Of the whole
year. Every year these Christian. Saracen
and Cathayan astrologers. each sect apart,
investigate by means Of this IS rolabe.
the course and character Of the whole year.

it's moons, in order to discover by the natural
course and disposition of the planets and
the other circumstances OF the heavens

also twelve idol temples belonging to differ

and one church Of the Christians at the
extremity of the town. The town is en-
closed by mud wall and has four gates.
At the east gate they sell millet and other
corn. but the supply is scanty; at the west
gate they sell rams and goats; at the south
gate. oxen and wagons; at the north gate,
