A tribal geography. Described in Bell's own words as a 'tribal geography', and published anonymously, Bell was annoyed by the general assumption that she was only one of several contributors to this volume. The work includes chapters on tribes, independent chiefs of East Arabia, Syria and Iraq (including Bell's observations on Palestine and Zionism, written just before the Balfour Declaration), Kurdistan and Anatolia.

First edition. 12mo, 193 pp., lithographed map, original green cloth gilt, light wear, a very good copy.

Robinson p. 4.
