Description
"Excerpt from A Pilgrimage to Nejd, Vol. 1 of 2: The Cradle of the Arab Race, a Visit to the Court of the Arab Emir, and "Our Persian Campaign"
The Arabs of the earlier invasions, the townsmen of such places as Bozra, Palmyra, and Deyr, and to the Tai Bedouins, once lords of J ebel Shammar, it appeals with a fascination more than equal to that of the Hejaz itself. Nejd is to all of them what Palestine is to the Jews, England to the American and Australian colonists; but with this difference, that they are cut off from the object of their filial reverence more absolutely in practice than these by an intervening gulf of desert less.
