Instead of teaching the boy civil manners, the father desires him to beat and pelt the strangers who come to the tent ; to steal or secrete some trifling article belonging to them.

The present generation is thus comprised within the number of the khomse. The lineal descendants of all those...
Side 2 - Burckhardt, are the most powerful Arab nation in the vicinity of Syria, and if we add to them their brethren in Nedjd, they may be reckoned one of the most considerable bodies of bedouins in the Arabian deserts.
Side 97 - A name is given to an infant immediately on its birth. The name is derived from some trifling accident, or from some object which had struck the fancy of the mother, or any of the women present at the child's birth.
