"Altogether the most important and trustworthy work relating to
Mohammed ever translated into English, giving, as it does, 'a full
view of his life and religion, with sketches of his ancestors,
companions, and times, blended with maxims and legends illustrative
of Oriental manners.' To the theologian it is invaluable, while to
the general reader it is as interesting as an Oriental romance,
being in the form of a narrative, with frequent flashes of
magnificent poetry. The account of the birth of Mohammed,
especially, is exquisitely beautiful."--_E.P. Whipple._
