Dufferin leaves to his successor, is the absolutely iudispensildo one of so, erinten ding and guiding what Lord Granville has called the prudent decelopmeit of Egyptian institutions. If the question be adna I why matlus in Egypt should not now be left to themselves, a conclusive answer is to be found alike in Lord Dufferin's despatches and in the authentic description of Egyptian institutions and Egyptian admini:trations.
