ABSTRACT
“The Bedawi is, indeed, the strangest of all mankind. His material civilization is about on a par with that of a bushman, yet his brain is as elaborately and subtly developed as that of any Englishman with a liberal education. There is no reasonable argument he cannot follow, no situation which he cannot immediately grasp, no man whom he cannot comprehend ; yet there is no manual act he can perform.—The Caliph's Last Heritage.—Sir Mark Sykes.
