I N presenting to the reader these recollections , which go back to the earliest years of my life in England , and pass to my travels in France and residence in Egypt , I wish to crave the indulgence of my ’ ‘ ‘ l zfie m ze ur readers . I claim none of the skill of the in the production of these memoirs . I was asked to recall those incidents associated with Cairo , and with other passages in my life which I considered would prove most interesting , and this I have endeavoured A . s to do faithfully , and to the best of my ability to whether I have succeeded in the object with which this volume was written , I must leave it to the public , to whose generous appreciation in another sphere of my life I owe so much , to be the judges . A R . Frederick Goodall, f I must, in conclusion , of er my sincere thanks to all those who have assisted me in every way in their power to carry out my task . F . G . — N ol a Soon after the completion of the MS . for this volume , Mr . Frederick Goodall , R A . , was taken ill , and therefore has been pre - vented from reading the proof sheets . Should any inaccuracies occur in regard to circumstances to which it is impossible to refer for verification , they must be attributed to this fact . viii Co n te n ts. T C H AP E R I .
