Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Chapters From My Official Life Most of Sir Rivers Wilson´s old friends and cotemporaries have passed away, and there is no one left of those who were associated with him in his early days to write an appreciation of his life´s career. But Sir Rivers speaks for himself - his autobiography, which was commenced in January, 1914, at the request of his wife, and continued at various times till the very day in December, 1915, when he was attacked by the illness which was shortly to prove fatal, tells what manner of man he was. His name will be indelibly connected with modern Egyptian history. It was largely through his efforts that Egypt gained a constitution, and he played a historic part in the closing scenes of the reign of its last despotic ruler, Ismail Pasha. In a letter to Lady Wilson, written after her husband´s death, Lord Milner says, "I have always admired the courageous part Sir Rivers Wilson played in Egypt - long before my day it is true - under circumstances of great difficulty. My own subsequent experiences in that country enable me to estimate the troubles by which he was confronted."
