THE acknowledgements which I have to make this year all mark. additions to large debts incurred in other years: to Dr. F. C. Jones, to Mr. George Kirk and to Miss Denise Folliot. There are others, too, whose advice and criticism on different sections of this book have been of the utmost value to me and whose kindness has been a real encouragement as well as a material help.
The reappearance of the Middle East in the Survey has exposed a par ticular disability in my ignorance of the Arabic script. The Survey adopted many years ago a system of transliteration for Arabic and Turkish names and in most cases all that I have to do is to turn to pre-war volumes and copy the renderings which I find there, but new names occur and with these I may sometimes in my ignorance deviate from the system. I confess to not feeling as much put out by this as the purist might wish.
