The Great Square in Alexandria - Present State of the Proposed Church... 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Great Square in Alexandria - Present State of the Proposed Church for the English Protestant Residents, 1850....the British residents set themselves...to raise funds for the erection of a Church...The actual residents in Alexandria are, we are informed, a small body, not exceeding seventy in number. This fact, coupled with the very laudable resolution which they formed, not to content themselves, and so dishonour the religion of their country in the midst of a large Mahometan city, with the erection of a "cheap church, " which should "cost them nothing, " is, we believe, among the chief reasons why the completion of the edifice has been so long delayed...The scaffolded building, standing undisturbed by "sound of axe or hammer, " tells a dreary tale to the English traveller, and one but little creditable to our country in the eyes of Christians of every persuasion...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
