A SPLENDID VIEW.,
Iv one of Mr Gliddon's recent lectures on the Pyvilir. 4 `.
tumid. of Egypt, speaking of the view from the
great Memphite pyramid, he remarks that, "standing
upon the sumit, nose a platform of about 33 feet
equate, the spectator is raised above the level of the
low Nile about 612 feet; or 590 feet over -:the adjacent;
alluvial country, and shout twice and a half tinter
higher than Bunker H ill. To the west ward, the eye
stretches over the Lybian Desert, which is hero an en
dulatingsable land of lime -stone rock, on the surface
of which pebbles and gravel of light brown hue, as
fares the eye can reach, betoken the dreary waste.—
Unbroken by vegetation, the arid tract extendi from
the Pyramids across the Sahara to the distant Atlan
tic ocean. On the Meth is the Delta of Lower
Egypt, and the Nile diversified on the left hand with
the edge of the Desert, and on the right with verdant
fields, lofty sycamores, groves of palms, villages and
distant towns, boats, cattle, and all the edjucts of ag
ricte.tUre, all gathered in charming contrast with the
Desert on the other. On the east, on the plain below
beyond the edge of the Sandy Desert intervening be:
tween the Hill of the Pyramid and the Alluvial,
breadth of about a thousand 3 ards, the aye sweeps over
a cultivated plain intersected by canals and broken by
villages; to the sacred Nile, and across the river at the
foot of the Brown Mountain of Mokellihn, er Eastern
Chain of Hills, rises Cairo, 'the Victorious,' the 'Mo
ther of the world,' with her citadel, mosques, minar
ets, palaces, and gardens; and the view of the 'guard.
ed city,' as it In termed by the Arabs, at tea miles
from the Pyramids, is one of the mostpicturesque cad
romantic prospects in the world. On the South caltlr
at hand, are two other large Pyramids of Gheizeit,and
along the edge of the desert successively rise the Py.
mrnids of Abet - meth, Saceare, and Dashour--thirty
one Pyramids in sight, on a line of twenty miles. A
little to the left but hid from the, view, by a dense for
est of Palm Trees, lie the ruins of ancient Memphis,
some of whose monarchs and once *inning population:.
2000 years ago, still slept in the vast Necropelie
