This book is a critical review of James Ewing Cooley's "The American in Egypt" from the perspective of an American who traveled alongside Cooley and who was familiar with America's consul in Egypt at the time. The author argues that Cooley's book misrepresents people's words and actions, plagiarizes from other sources, includes unnecessary illustrations, and ultimately fails to provide any meaningful insights into Egypt. The reviewer is particularly critical of Cooley's attacks on John Glidden, the American consul, whom Cooley accuses of corruption and dereliction of duty, accusations the reviewer claims are entirely without basis in fact. The reviewer concludes by emphasizing the book's malicious and unreliable nature, underscoring that "The American in Egypt" has no value to the reader.
