Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hassan or the Child of the Pyramid, an Egyptian Tale, Vol. 2 of 2 Those who have lived or travelled in the East will exclaim, This is unnatural; no Oriental was ever capable of so unselfish a trait.' Rare fruit in that clime we admit it to be; nevertheless the exception does not disprove the rule, and in this veracious history the reader must take our word for it, that however contrary it may appear to general experience, truth, modesty, and unselfish ness may be found in the East - that is, among the Arabs, Turks, and those brought up with them. He that would seek such fruit farther East - that is, in Persia, had better settle his affairs before he starts, and be prepared for a journey of indefinite duration and worse than doubtful result.
