A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

I slam in its manifold phases, from its birth atM ekka to its apotheosis in the Persian Miracle Play; even theS abians may be called, in a sense, aK oranic sect. It is true the treatment is slight, and many important developments of theM ohammad an religion are scarcely touched upon ;but the essays were written not for the learned but for the general reader, and I believe he will pardon the lack of elaboration. If my words bring a few more workers to the great field here sketched out, and induce a wider interest in the religion which still keeps its hold upon so vast a number of our fellow subjects, the republication of these essays will be abundantly justified. The chapters on the Koran, the Persian Miracle Play, and theS abians, are reprinted by permission from theE dinburgh Review; that on anE astern Eeformation from theS aturday Review; while the first three appeared in my introduction to Lane sS elections from the Kur-an, and are republished with Messrs. Trlibner skind consent. The chapter on theB rother hood of Purity appears for the first time. S. L.-P. CAIRO, Feb.
