A PILGRIMAGE TO NEJD,
THE CRADLE OF THE ARAB RACE, AND A VISIT TO THE COURT OF THE ARAB EMIR.
By LADY ANNE BLUNT.
Author of the “Bedouins of the Euphrates Valley.”
With Illustrations from the Author’s Drawings. 2 vols. Post 8vo.
We were passed on by the Bedouins from kinsman to kinsman, and were everywhere received as friends; nor is it too much to say that while in Arabia we enjoyed the singular advantage of being accepted as members of an Arabian family. This gave us an unique occasion of seeing and of understanding what we saw; and we have only ourselves to blame if we did not turn it to very important profit.… We are, I believe, the only European travellers who have made the complete journey from Damascus to Häil, or from Häil to Bagdad, while only two Europeans besides ourselves have visited Jebel Shammar at all.—From Editor’s Preface.
