Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians

"This is grunt work on an epic scale, amassed so formidably it seems almost possible to resurrect from it mid-nineteenth century Cairo, not only its physical details but also something of its intellectual and moral current. At least part of Lane's legacy is to have left a monument testifying to some of the most generous traits of his own culture and a tribute to the people he lived with for many years."Lane, Edward W. is the author of 'Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians' with ISBN 9789774247842 and ISBN 9774247841.
