The Life and Achievements of Edward Henry Palmer: Late Lord Almoner's Professor of Arabic in the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Saint John's College is a biography written by Walter Besant. It provides a comprehensive account of the life and accomplishments of Edward Henry Palmer, who was a renowned scholar of Arabic language and culture in the late 19th century. The book delves into Palmer's early life, education, and his travels to the Middle East, where he immersed himself in the study of Arabic language and literature. It also explores Palmer's work as a translator, his contributions to the field of Oriental studies, and his involvement in archaeological excavations in Egypt. The book sheds light on Palmer's personal life, including his marriage and family, and his tragic death at the hands of Bedouin tribesmen in the Sinai Peninsula in 1882. Overall, The Life and Achievements of Edward Henry Palmer is a fascinating account of a pioneering figure in the study of Arabic language and culture, and a valuable resource for scholars and students of Oriental studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
