Book Description
"[...]seen in the desert of comparatively fair complexion, but these always (as far as my experience goes) have features of a correspondingly foreign type, showing a mixture of race. No Bedouin of true blood was ever seen with hair or eyes not black, nor perhaps with a nose not aquiline. Mijuel's father, a rare exception among the Ánazeh, could both read and write, and gave his sons, when they were boys, a learned man to teach them their letters. But out of nine brothers, Mijuel alone took any pains to learn. The strange accident of his marriage with an English lady has withdrawn him for months at a time, but not estranged him, from the desert; and he has adopted little of the townsman in his dress, and nothing of the European. He goes, it is true, to the neighbouring mosque, and recites the Mussulman prayers daily; but with this exception, he is undistinguishable from the Ibn Shaalans and Ibn[...]".

Book 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" Of the Desert, Nejd had long assumed the romantic colouring of a holy land and when it was decided that we were to visit J ebel Shammar, the metropolis of Bedouin life, our expedition presented itself as an almost pious undertaking; so that it is hardly an exaggeration even now that it is over, and we are once more in Europe, to speak of it as a pilgrimage. Our pilgrimage then it is, though the religion in whose name we travelled was only one of romance. Its circumstances, in spite of certain disappoint ments which the narrative will reveal, were little less romantic than the idea. Readers who followed our former travels to their close, may remember a. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
"You have been a great traveller, Mercury?" "I have seen the world." "Ah, a wondrous spectacle. I long to travel." "The same thing over again. Little novelty and much change. I am wearied with exertion, and if I could get a pension would retire." "And yet travel brings wisdom." "It cures us of care. Seeing much we feel little, and learn how very petty are all those great affairs which cost us such anxiety." Ixion in Heaven. The charm of Asia-A return to old friends-Desert news-The Palmyrene colony at Damascus-New horses and camels-Mrs. Digby and her husband Mijuel the Mizrab-A blood feud-Abd el-Kader's life-Midhat Pasha discourses on canals and tramways-He fails to raise a loan. Damascus, Dec. 6, 1878.-It is strange how gloomy thoughts vanish as one sets foot in Asia. Only yesterday we were still tossing on the sea of European thought, with its political anxieties, its social miseries and its restless aspirations, the heritage of the unquiet race of Japhet-and now we seem to have ridden into still water, where we can rest and forget and be thankful. The charm of the East is the absence of intellectual life there, the freedom one's mind gets from anxiety in looking forward or pain in looking back. Nobody here thinks of the past or the future, only of the present; and till the day of one's death comes, I suppose the present will always be endurable. Then it has done us good to meet old friends, friends all demonstratively pleased to see us. At the coach office when we got down, we found a little band of dependants waiting our arrival-first of all Mohammed ibn Ar�k, the companion of our last year's adventures, who has come from Palmyra to meet and travel with us again, and who has been waiting here for us, it would seem, a month. Then Hanna, the most courageous of cowards and of cooks, with his ever ready tears in his eyes and his double row of excellent white teeth, agrin with welcome. Each of them has brought with him a friend, a relation he insists on calling him, who is to share the advantage of being in our service, and to stand by his patron in case of need, for servants like to travel here in pairs. Mohammed's cousin is a quiet, respectable looking man of about five and thirty, rather thick set and very broad shouldered. He is to act as head camel man, and he looks just the man for the place. Hanna's brother bears no likeness at all to Hanna. He is a young giant, with a rather feckless face, and great splay hands which seem to embarrass him terribly. He is dressed picturesquely in a tunic shaped like the ecclesiastical vestment called the "dalmatic," and very probably its origin, with a coloured turban on his head. He too may be useful, but he is a Christian, and we rather doubt the prudence of taking Christian servants to Nejd. Only Ferhan, our Agheyl camel-driver, is missing, and this is a great disappointment, for he was the best tempered and the most trustworthy of all our followers last year. I fancy we may search Damascus with a candle before we find his like again.

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Pilgrimage to Nejd, Vol. 2 of 2 The Cradle of the Arab Race: Look inside the book: That Feysul’s stud in its day was the best in Arabia is probable, and it may be that no collection now to be found there has an equal merit; but there seems little reason for supposing that it differed in anything but degree from what we ourselves saw, or that the animals composing it were distinct from those still owned by the various Bedouin tribes of Nejd. ...To the present day I am not quite sure that we heard all that happened, and so forbear entering upon the matter in detail; but as far as we could learn, Mohammed’s vanity seems to have led him to aggrandise his own position in the eyes of Ibn Rashid’s court, by representing us as persons whom he had taken under his protection, and who were in p. 19some way dependent on him; boasting that the camels, horses, and other property were his own, and our servants his people.
