This book embodies the substance of the lectures which I delivered in the University of Calcutta, as Tagore Professor for the year 1907, and I greatly regret that there should have been so much delay, due to reasons altogether personal to myself, in the publication of the book. The first Chapter is intended to be introductory, and its usefulness will, I trust, be apparent, especially with reference to the topics discussed in Chapters XI to XII. I ought to mention that, in writing the earlier portion of the first Chapter, I derived valuable suggestions from Mr. Macdonald sexcellent treatise on Muhammadan Theology. Chapters II to Vcontain an exposition of A l-U siil or the Science of Law, as developed by the Muhammadan jurists tween the eighth and the fourteenth centuries of the Christian Era. Much of this part of the book is practically a translation of Sadru sh-S hari ats Taudih which was written sometime in the fourteenth century and is recognized as a standard work on the subject. The other writings on Usui which I have largely consulted are Taftazanis Talwih ,which is a commentary on Taudih ,F akhru l-I slams A l-U sul and its commentary Kashfu 1-I srar ,M usullumu th-T habut ,by Muhibbullah and its commentaries by Bahrul Ulum and others, A ttaqrir-wa t Tahbir ,by I bn Hammaru, Nifr-u l-A nwar ,by Mullah Jiwan ;J am ul Jawami ,by Tajuddin Subki with its commentary by A l-M ahalli and the gloss known as A l-A yatu 1-B ayyinat and A l-M ukhtaaar by I bn Hajib with Qadi Udud scommentary thereon. In writing the remaining chapters I have not had the same invaluable help of these eminent jurists, who did not think tit to pursue their investigations beyond the limits of the topics dealt with in Chapters II to V.
