Egypt And The Sudan

Egypt and the Sudan is a speech delivered by William Ewart Gladstone in the House of Commons in 1884. In this speech Gladstone discusses the situation in Egypt and the Sudan which were both under British influence at the time. He argues that the British government should not continue to interfere in Egyptian affairs and that the Sudan should be left to its own devices. Gladstone also addresses the issue of slavery in the region calling for its abolition. This book provides insight into the political and social climate of the late 19th century and sheds light on Gladstone's views on imperialism and foreign policy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
