ABSTRACT

I Am somewhat deviating from the object of the present work, by devoting a chapter, however small, to the subject of Mussulman Saints. These, nevertheless, are so intimately connected with the spiritualism of the Darvishes, that I do not see how it can be properly avoided. The subject has already been alluded to in Chapter III., and I avail myself of the information given in Mr. Lane’s Modern Egyptians for details which confirm what I there stated.
