Tewfik Pasha

Tewfik Pasha, MOHAMMED, Khedive of Egypt, was born in 1852, the eldest son of Ismail Pasha, and succeeded on his father's abdication in 1879, in virtue of the arrangement of 1866 between Ismail and the Sultan. The chief events of his reign—the insurrection of Arabi, the war with the Mahdi, the pacification of the Soudan frontiers, and the steady improvement of the condition of Egypt under English administration—have been indicated at EGYPT. Tewfik, a pious Moslem, utterly alien to his father's love of luxury and extravagance, was throughout loyal to his engagements with Britain. He died of the sequelæ of influenza, 7th January 1892, and was succeeded by his eldest son Abbas.
