To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Egypt was the scene of the earliest of all advances in engineering science. The system of irrigation, which origiQated in the days of the oldest Egyptian dynasties, has remained practically the same through all the inter- vening centuries imtil very recent times. During every period of vigorous government the rulers of Egypt paid special attention to irrigation canals and sluices, through which the flood waters could be brought to some hitherto imcultivated area. The famous barrage, projected e...arly in the nineteenth century and only rendered efficient for what it was intended since the British occupation, made very little alteration in the actual supply of water during the seasons of low water in the Nile. The most serious problem is how to ward off the periodical famine years, of which tliere has been record from the earliest ages, and of which the Book of Genesis has left an accoimt in the history of Joseph and the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. Without creating such a vast reservoir in the upper waters of the Nile, that the storage there retained can be available in years of low water to fill the river to its accustomed level, it is impossible to prevent the calamity occasioned by leaving many dis* tricts of Egypt without cultivation for one or more seasons.
