Excerpt from Operations Carried on at the Pyramids of Gizeh in 1837, Vol. 1: With an Account of a Voyage Into Upper Egypt, and an Appendix
The chief object of the following pages is to give a distinct account of the works carried on at the Pyramids of Gizeh, under a firmaun granted by the Pasha in the winter of 1836.
The form of a Journal has been adopted, and the daily employments, and numbers of the people, have been given, that the extent and difficulties of the various operations may be more fully understood; - difficulties not a little increased by the irregular attendance of the labourers.
Abstracts from various authors antient and modern, who have treated of the Pyramids, are inserted in the Appendix: for those taken from Arabian writers I am indebted to the labours of Dr. Sprenger.
