A Modern Pilgrim in Mecca (Classic Reprint) - Arthur John Wavell Byng

Excerpt from A Modern Pilgrim in Mecca

Some apology is necessary for beginning a book of this description with a dissertation on the Geography of Arabia, and the tenets of one of the most widely - spread religions of the world; for the elements. Of both might well be supposed to be common knowledge. It is my experience, however, that this is not always the case, and since a general comprehension of these matters is essential to any interest the experiences to be related may have, I am devoting some space to their consideration for the benefit of such of my readers as have not found time to study Oriental subjects.
