Operations Carried on at the Pyramids of Gizeh in 1837 Synopsis

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The chief object of the following pages is to give a distinct account of the works carried on at the Pyramids of Gizeh, under a firmaun granted by the Pasha in the winter of 1836.<br><br>The form of a Journal has been adopted, and the daily employments, and numbers of the people, have been given, that the extent and difficulties of the various operations may be more fully understood; - difficulties not a little increased by the irregular attendance of the labourers.<br><br>Abstracts from various authors antient and modern, who have treated of the Pyramids, are inserted in the Appendix: for those taken from Arabian writers I am indebted to the labours of Dr. Sprenger.
