Counselor Muhammad Saeed Al-Gamal writes in his introduction to this book: "The book Pages from the History of Egypt is the truest witness to the literature of Yahya Haqqi, and although this book covers chapters describing historical events, places, markets, holidays, games in the past, and the history of rulers and revolutions...... However, the author adopted his style in the short story, coloring the events and things he described in this style that reflected himself and his artistic images. Among the topics of this book: a sugar packet box, and perhaps a "centrifuge" as well: (December 5, 1798 - Holidays and games in Cairo - Al-Asr market - Kanto market - Horse market - How the Khedive gets married! - Evacuation Day and the anniversary of Dinshaway - The new climate of the 1919 revolution - Ibn Al-Qabaqibi and others).
