Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Expansion of Egypt Under Anglo-Egyptian Condominium
The heads of my argument are given in the annexed Table (no. In a natural sequence of cause and effect. The divisions of my subject and the order of their presenta tion conform, in principle, to this arrangement of the material. Details are to some extent relegated to foot-notes.
From an examination of physical factors (part I) I derive the organic unity of the Nile Valley. In Parts II to IV, inclusive, I produce the internal and external factors which, in their cumulative effect, point to its political unity under the Power holding the Command of the Sea and already exercising a de facto Protectorate. The Political Situation in Egypt (part V) demonstrates the instability of Egyptian institutions and an elaborate Survey of the anglo-egyptian Administration (part VI), dealing with all the Departments of State, illustrates the extent to which these depend on British Control and initiative. International Interests are shown to predominate and centre in the Suez Canal (part VII). And in Part VIII, I have sought the most natural solution of the Egyptian Problem. That the solution which I advocate is inevitable, may be gathered from the concluding Parts of my work (ix and X). In or before the year 1905, a British Protectorate, or its equivalent, must, in my Opinion, be proclaimed throughout the Valley of the Nile.
