A feeling of disappointment will probably be raised in most readers who turn from these extravagant eulogies to the works themselves. They are full of somewhat vapid truisms, and their style is too ornate for the present age. Like so many writers of her day, she wrote Johnsonese rather than English. She loved long words, and amplified where she should have compressed.
The gathering of vegetables from the kitchen garden, the dressing of poultry and the baking of relays' of hot breads at meal times likewise amplified the culinary routine. Maids of all work were therefore seldom employed.
The notes from which this volume is taken were written in the lands of which it treats: they have been amplified and corrected in the genial atmosphere of an English home.
I was pleased at the meeting. "The very man I was wanting to see," said I. "How many hospitals are there in the city and the immediate vicinity?" He eyed me in his customary serious, intent manner. I amplified: "I have n't the least idea, you know. Perhaps I could name a dozen, perhaps a score; but there might be five hundred. Anyhow, I have to search them all or, until I find what I want."
This doctrine was proclaimed in the memorable words, which for so many centuries constituted the war-cry of the Saracens, There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet.

The architects perfected the plan in 1912.
