The spine and corners are lightly worn, the rear hinge is cracked, light foxing, and there is a previous owner's inscription. "My object of the present story has been to give you as lively a picture as possible of that life, drawn from the bulky pages of Sir J. Gardner Wilkinson and other writers on the same subject. I have laid the scene in the time of Thotmes III., one of the greatest of the Egyptian monarchs, being surpassed only in glory and the extent of his conquests by Rameses the Great" - from the Preface.
