Amelia Edwards [1831-1892] was an English novelist, journalist,
traveller and Egyptologist. In 1877 she wrote a vivid account of her
Nile journey which became an instant success. Still to this day it is a
fascinating account of Egypt in the middle 1800's.
"Ampére has put Egypt in an Epigram. A donkey-ride and a boating-trip
interspersed with ruins does, in fact, sum up in a single line the whole
experience of the Nile traveller...and that the more one knows about
the past history of the country, the more one enjoys the ruins."
