Excerpt from The Land War in Ireland: Being a Personal Narrative of Events in Continuation of "a Secret History of the English Occupation of Egypt" Fourth of the series of my Egyptian Memoirs, will be found to contain little about Egypt. Beyond a few incidental allusions to the Drummond Wolff convention, and the account of a three months' visit I paid to Cairo in I 887, it deals with nothing relating to Eastern or Mohammedan affairs. Almost the whole of it is devoted to Ireland, the westernmost of all the European nations and the most Christian, and in this way it stands in complete contrast to my other experiences.
