Excerpt from Walter's Tour in the East: Walter in Constantinople Travellers who pass through Egypt and Syria find it hard work. The dangerous horseback rides, sleeping on the ground or beneath the shelter of their tents, and dealing with the treacherous Arabs, and the wild Bedouins of the desert, make the tour difficult, if not extremely perilous. But when once embarked for Constantinople, there comes the refreshing conviction that the toil is over, and that a few days of rest, at least, are to be enjoyed. It is this easy tour we are to take in this volume, and so after a little talk about Mohammed we will describe the embarkation of the party at Beyroot for the North. The young reader will remember that the travelling party made a contract with Mohammed in Cairo, which is given in full in the account of "Walter's Tour in Egypt."
