Abstract
My dear Sir Edward,—On my return from the opening of the Suez Canal, where, by your kind selection, I had the honour of representing the Royal Society as the guest of the Viceroy, I think it incumbent on me to give a short account of my journey and my impressions of the great and important undertaking which was so magnificently inaugurated. Nothing could exceed the splendid hospitality of the Viceroy, who had in every possible way provided for the accommodation and the comfort of his guests. The crowd of visitors, however, was so great, and his own personal attendance was so constantly given to the Empress of the French, the Emperor of Austria, and other Royal personages who honoured him with their company, that it was almost impossible for him to bestow any special attention on other individual guests; but few or none could complain of any want of attention or of any material inconvenience.
