The archaeologist D. G. Hogarth (1862-1927) was, when he died,
keeper of the Ashmolean Museum and president of the Royal
Geographical Society, whose gold medal he was also awarded. This
1910 book is his account of various episodes in his career from
1897, when he covered the Cretan revolt against Turkey for The
Times, to his 1907 excavations in Asyut, Egypt. A mixture of travel
writing and archaeological reporting - the volume also contains an
academic report on the excavation of Carchemish - this book, a
follow-up to his A Wandering Scholar in the Levant (also reissued
in this series), and intended for a popular audience, remains a
highly readable account of the practicalities behind Hogarth's
intellectual career. It also provides background to Hogarth's
political involvement with the Near East, as acting director of the
Arab Bureau in Cairo during the First World War and an attendee at
the Versailles peace conference.
