The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the daily life of Egyptians, including their dress, food, housing, and occupations. Lane provides detailed descriptions of the various social classes, from the wealthy landowners to the poorest peasants. He also explores the role of women in Egyptian society, as well as the customs surrounding marriage, childbirth, and death.The second volume delves into the religious beliefs and practices of the Egyptians, including their Islamic faith and the various superstitions and folk beliefs that coexist with it. Lane provides a detailed account of Islamic rituals and ceremonies, as well as the role of religious leaders in Egyptian society.Throughout the book, Lane's observations are accompanied by detailed illustrations and anecdotes that bring the culture and customs of the Egyptians to life. ""An Account of the Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians"" remains a valuable resource for scholars of Middle Eastern culture and history, as well as anyone interested in the rich and diverse traditions of Egypt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
