Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of Arabia, Ancient and Modern, Vol. 1 of 2: Containing a Description of the Country; An Account of Its Inhabitants Antiquities, Political Condition, and Early Commerce; The Life and Religion of Mohammed; The Conquest, Arts, and Literature of the Saracens
The chapter on Natural History, it may be proper to remark, is merely intended as a popular view of the subject. To the merit of a scientific treatise it does not aspire; the purpose of the author being chie?y to illustrate the manners and customs of the people, while describing the physical structure and natural productions-of the country.
