As to the spelling of Eastern names, not writing for the specialist but for the general public I have spelt them as they are ordinarily spelt, though in certain instances, as for instance in the name of the Prophet and his followers, I have preferred the spelling which most clearly suggests the sound. My readers will note that I write of the Mongols when speaking of the races of Central Asia and of the Moghuls when I write of the Emperors at Delhi and of their followers.
