Mr. Penfield was United States Diplomatic Agent and Consul-General to Egypt in 1893-97; his book, intended for the reader who wishes a general account of Egypt at the present day, is consequently one of some authority. It contains a description of Cairo, and Alexandria, a brief history of the Suez Canal, chapters on the various public works, on several important matters of administration, on the position of Great Britain in Egypt, and on wintering in Egypt for health's sake. The illustrations are partly from drawings by Paul Philippoteaux and R. Talbot Kelly, and partly from photographs. Egyptian Sudan. P.R.S. 65 (1899): 333–349. Budge.
