He also initiated a violent purge of the Mamluks, who had a hold over Egypt before his rule began. The author also includes a discussion of Candia, which had recently come under Egyptian rule. (Candia refers to the Venetian name for Crete at that time.) During his military career the author had traveled in Crete and Syria. The two volumes are bound in nineteenth century three quarter black leather with marbled paper covers and endpapers. Leather is bumped and lightly rubbed. Marbled covers are scuffed. Text pages have browning and aging throughout but are quite legible. Ownership signature of Arthur Stanley Bride to top of title page.
