Excerpt from With the Pilgrims to Mecca: The Great Pilgrimages of A. H. 1319; A. D. 1902
The Authors take this opportunity of renewing their acknowledgments of all they owe to the Editor of The Morning Post, to whose friendly interest and encouragement the success of the serial publication, under the title of the "Great Pilgrimage," was in a considerable measure due. In tendering to him their hearty thanks, they feel it would be scarcely fair to themselves were they to allow the reader to take this, the present fruit of their respective labours, to be a mere republication. It is something far more than that, one-fifth of the book, and that the most interesting part of all, being absolutely new; while the whole of the remainder has been not only carefully revised, but also recast, and, to some extent, rewritten. But the reader owes the new material to Mr. Dunn"s kindness in relinquishing his right to it in order that it might appear for the first time in the pages of "With the Pilgrims to Mecca."
