Excerpt from An Administrator in the Making: James Saumarez Mann, 1893 1920
The nucleus of this book consists of the letters describing the life and work of a novice in administration, during a difficult and anxious period of transition, in a remote corner of a region brought under British influence by one of the incidental results Of the world-war. Work of the same kind is doubtless being done daily in all the remoter and less civilised parts of the British Empire; but in this case the opportunities for doing it were exceptional. It is now permissible to hope that, after the interruption of 1920 caused by Nationalist misapprehension and impatience, it may be resumed and carried through under the British advisers Of the new Arab Kingdom, with Great Britain as the mandatory Power.
