power, but only to court another Turkish expedition into Nejd, and ultimately
to compel their Amir to acknowledge the Sultan of Turkey as his Suzerain. As

Porte mainly based its claim to interfere in Nejd affairs in 1871, to carve out a

having advanced only as far as Tayif, " Garden of Mecca," and 4,000 out of

importance to a successful issue of the operations against the Wahabis,
considering that his influence at the Porte would thereby^be much strengthen
