Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Tbe Author died almost immediately after completing this book, and before any arrangements had been mr.de for its publication. The following brief Note, which was appended to the MS., istherefore inserted in place of a more formal Preface. Three observations only are needed in regard to the following pages: 1. I have endeavoured most oarefully to be strictly aoonrate in all my historioal and geographical statements, as also in my description of scenes and incidents. 2. With exception of the Sheikh himself, none of the members of his tribe are portraits of any actual personages, but rather embodiments of different types of travellers whom I have encountered in my many journeys through Palestine. 3. I only hold myself responsible for the statements of the Sheikh. HASKETT SMITH.
