Farid was the main political and financial supporter of [[Mustafa Kamil]], the founder of the Egyptian National Party, and after his premature death in 1908, was elected second president of that party. He led the party in [[Egypt]] until March 1912 and then in exile until his death. He argued that the British must withdraw their army of occupation from Egypt and that only the khedive could grant a constitution to the [[Egyptians]]. He called for the spread of education and advocated social and economic reforms, especially to benefit workers. At times he sought help from the [[Ottoman Empire]] (Egypt's suzerain), notably while in exile during [[World War I]], but he also suspected the [[Ottoman Turks|Turks]] of undermining Egyptian national aims. Farid's occasional support for pan-[[Islam]] alienated Egyptian [[Copt]]s. Egyptians respect Farid for his patriotic courage and self-sacrifice. His memoirs have been published in Arabic and partly in English translation and he also wrote histories of the [[Muhammad Ali of Egypt|Muhammad Ali]] dynasty, the Romans, and the Ottoman Empire, as well as travel diaries and numerous articles for local nationalist newspapers.
