These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Pilgrimage to Nejd, Vol. 1 of 2 The Cradle of the Arab Race: Look inside the book: After explaining that the name Nejed signifies p. xxvi"highland," in contradistinction to the coast and the outlying provinces of lesser elevation, he sums up his opinion thus: "The denomination 'Nejed' is commonly enough applied to the whole space included between Djebel Shomer on the north, and the great desert to the south, from the extreme range of Jebel Toweyk on the east to the neighbourhood of the Turkish pilgrim-road or Derb-el-Hajj on the west. ...Nejd, in its original and popular sense of p. xxvii"Highlands," was a term of physical geography, and necessarily embraced Jebel Shammar, the most elevated district of all, as well as Kasim, which lay between it and Aared; and so it was doubtless considered in Niebuhr's time, and is still considered by the Bedouins of the North, whose recollections date from an age previous to Niebuhr's.
