TO

THE HONOURABLE OLIVER A. BORTHWICK

... Oh, never star
Was lost here but it rose afar!
Look East, where whole new thousands are!

[Pg 9]

The Authors take this opportunity of renewing their acknowledgmentsof all they owe to the Editor of The Morning Post,to whose friendly interest and encouragement the success of theserial publication, under the title of the “Great Pilgrimage,” wasin a considerable measure due. In tendering to him their heartythanks, they feel it would be scarcely fair to themselves were theyto allow the reader to take this, the present fruit of their respectivelabours, to be a mere republication. It is something far morethan that, one-fifth of the book, and that the most interestingpart of all, being absolutely new; while the whole of the remainderhas been not only carefully revised, but also recast, and,to some extent, rewritten. But the reader owes the new materialto Mr. Dunn’s kindness in relinquishing his right to it in orderthat it might appear for the first time in the pages of “With thePilgrims to Mecca.”

[Pg 10]

My own East!
How nearer God we were! He glows above
With scarce an intervention, presses close
And palpitatingly, His soul o’er ours;
We feel Him, nor by painful reason know!
The everlasting minute of creation
Is felt there.
