THE CLOUT OF THE PHARAOH?
by Arthur Weltrnll. (Putnam) J3.50
With the discovery of the tomi
of Tutnnkhamon some moths afft
there was a itreat revival of inter
est in the ancient ttlories of Epypt
The picture, sections of the Hundnj
newspapers, both New York and
loeal, were filled with picture?
taken by the fortunate few who
allowed to see first-ham!
the thlnns around which there
was so much interest, and may
wp say. oxoltmpnt? It was lr
connection with this revival of in-
terest and the attached muses, thlr
reviewer believes, that “The Glory
of the Pharaohs" was led to b#
WrltteA by Mr. WeJgall. .
This book Is a work of enthu
slasm which portrays the fasci
nating story of Egypt's anclen |
glories. It passes on to the read-.
or Joy of discovery which Is the
breath of life to the archaeologist
Mr. Weigall, the author of the
hook, was for some years Inspector.
General for the Egyptian govern
ment and he was at Luxor durin*
the excavations of Mr. Howard
Carter nnd Lord Carnarvon. Tn
this nook he tells of the oxen va
in the Valley of the Tombs ol
the Kings, of the life of an archae
ologist. of the ancient Egyptian lit.
ernture, the temperament of the
rly Egyptians, nnd the customs
of their modern descendants.
The hook Itself Is an excellent li
brary volume, gilt-topped, and wIP
look well on the most pretentlou*
library shelf or table.
