FOREWORD
This book contains my own observations and my own deductions from
them. The responsibility for them is mine alone. I have never engaged
in commercial, educational or missionary work. My interest in the Near
and Middle East began with a newspaper assignment, and has continued
with curiosity as its motive. This book is the result.
My thanks are due to the proprietors of _Current History_, New York,
and _Fortnightly Review_, London, for their courteous permission to
re-print herein parts of certain articles which have previously
appeared in their pages.
CLAIR PRICE.
