Excerpt from Two Years of British Intervention in Egypt: A Letter the Marquis of Salisbury, K. GWhile many members Of the Legislature have been devoting the Short parliamentary recess to demon strating about a new Reform Bill, concerning the main principle Of which there is no dispute, and which would quickly become law if her Majesty's present advisers would act up to the professions they made prior to 1880, I have been spending some Of the time in Egypt with the View Of finding out from personal Observation the effect Of English intervention in that country. Important as a new Suffrage Bill must necessarily be, and beneficial as would be any complete measure extending household suffrage to the counties, and SO arranging the distribution Of seats as to give a fair proportion Of political power to the labourers in the country and the artisans in the towns, yet at this particular juncture I feel certain that the Egyptian question is Of far more importance, affecting as it does, not merely the happiness and well-being of the five-and a-half millions of inhabitants of Lower Egypt and the eleven millions Of Upper Egypt, but to a greater degree the vital interests Of all classes in our own country, and the reputation, and perhaps even the very stability, Of the Empire itself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
