Though Ferdinand de Lesseps was the first to implement the idea of a channel bisecting the Isthmus of Suez, a number of visionaries had dreamt of a canal that would connect the Mediterranean and the Red Sea. It is reported that in 1380 B.C. an attempt was made to construct a waterway there. Napoleon took the first serious step, but, when he was advised that the Red Sea was 33 feet higher than the Mediterranean, he abandoned the project. De Lesseps first became interested in the idea of a canal while he was French consul at Cairo in the 1850's. In the best tradition of the nineteenth century, he was a man of diverse talents and dynamic enterprise, with enough practicality to effect this enormous task. Retiring prematurely from the diplomatic service, he received a concession to build a 100 mile~long waterway through the isthmus and then raised half the capital for the project by subscription. De Lesseps, one of history's most controversial figures, was both a companion of kings and an official who could supervise every detail of the Canal's construction ~a man who fought the British Government but captivated the Prince Consort and the Prince of Wales. Characteristically, he obtained the concession to build the Canal solely because of his long~standing friendship with the Egyptian ruler. He was a man of manifold abilities and heroic stature whose vitality and charm would have ensured his success in any age. When success did come, he was honored both by his own countrymen and by many other European nations, but, until his death in 1894, he continued to struggle to maintain what he regarded as the integrity of the Canal. This splendidly vivid history describes the planning and construction of the Canal~essentially a French enterprise, built on Egyptian soil for an international purpose, in the face of British Opposition~ and the man who played such an important part in building it. Througout the last 100 years, it has been a continuing source of conflict~a conflict that endured even after President Nasser nationalized the Canal in 1956. The engravings, from an early book on Suez, are outstanding examples of craftsmanship.…

In itself the subject is clearly defined by dates and by the peoples involved; but it is difficult to name. One may speak simply of the caliphate, and it is true that for about a century there is a single empire to which this distinctive name may be given. After A.D. 750, however, this empire began to disintegrate, and for a time there were at least three independent rulers each claiming to be a caliph, besides several other virtually autonomous rulers. On the other hand, despite the administrative disintegration the group of peoples concerned remained in some sense a unity. Many, perhaps most, still felt that they belonged together. All had entered into the heritage of Muhammad, the Messenger of God, had come to see the world in terms of an intellectual scheme based on the Qur'?n, and were at least professing to direct their lives by the Book of God and the Sunna (practice) of his Messenger. The term for this cultural unity is 'Islamic', and the subject may thus be briefly described as the prime of Islamic civilization.…
