Excerpt from Isis, Vol. 2 of 2: An Egyptian Pilgrimage

I have often thought that a curious and charming little volume might be written on the superstitions of the Nile. Nothing is so remarkable among the Orientals as the power of faith. They believe in all miracles, and even impossibilities do not shock them. In them the infancy of humanity appears to be revived, and their myths and legends, which, with slight variations, have descended to them from the remotest antiquity, seem like the nursery tales of the human race.
