Lastly, when the two contending parties are subjects of the fame Schiech, and * are, of consequence, held to be of the same family, the Schiech and the principal subjects join to reconcile the parties, and to punish the murderer. The tribes upon the consines of Oman, and the shores of the Persian gulph, are also acquainted with these family wars, and more harrassed even than the Arabians by them. A great part of these tribes earn their subsistence by carrying cosfee from Yemen to the Persian gulph, and by the pearl fishery; and, from this circumstance, parties at variance have more frequent opportunities of meeting and fighting at sea. Weak tribes are thus often obliged to quit their way of life, and fall into obscurity and misery (p). . CHAP. V. " Of the Arabian Nobility. The Arabs are accused of being vain, full of prejudices with respect to birth, and ridiculously attentive to records of genealogy, which they keep even for their horses. This reproach cannot affect the great body of the nation, who know know not their family names, and take not the trouble of keeping a register of births. Most of those, even in the middle station of life, know not who were their grandfathers, and would often be as much at a loss to know their fathers, if it were not regulated by custom, that the son shall join his father's name with his own. All those petty princes who govern in Arabia are, undoubtedly, very proud of their birth, and with some reason, since their families have, from time immemorial, enjoyed independence and sovereign power. The nobility, who are free, or dependent only on the chiefs of their tribes, are equally so. They enjoy privileges which the traditional history of the nation represents as having always belonged to...

Not illustrated. 1792 edition. Excerpt: ... The inhabitants of those parts had been long looking impatiently for rain. In order that they might make the most of it, when it should fall, the peasants had raised dykes along the heights, to direct the course of the waters upon their sields. The sields lay favourably for receiving it, being formed into terraces, and these supported by walls, with ditches to preserve what water may be necessary to support vegetation. If this practice merit approbation, yet we cannot avoid condemning the unskilful expedient which those Highlanders employ for selling trees: they set sire to the root, and keep it burning till the tree fall of itself. Next day, we came to a small river which runs into the Zebid, and crofsed also several rivulets, which seem to be numerous in this part of-the country. Here, for the sirst time since our departure from Beit el Fakih, we saw plantations of coffee-trees, along the side* of the road. We now drew nearer to the river Zebid, of which a branch at this time was dry, and having its channel silled with reeds growing to the height of twenty seet, served as a line of road, which was agreeably shaded by the reeds. In the evening we arrived at Udden. The town of Udden is small and unprotected. Jt contains three hundred houses, all of stone. The Imam keeps no Dola here. An hereditary Schiech, Schiech, who is a vassal of the Imam's, is the governor. The Schiech resides in a palace, standing upon a high hill without the city. Except the immediate neighbourhood of Udden, the whole tract of country through which we travelled in this excursion is thinly peopled. But the territory of the town is so much the more populous, on account of the abundant produce of its coffee-trees, which is esteemed the very best coffee in all...
