The Invasion of India by Alexander the Great as described by Arrian, Q. Curtius, Diodoros, Plutarch and Justin: Being Translations of such portions of the Works of these and other Classical Authors as describe Alexander's Campaigns in Afghanistan, the Panjâb, Sindh, Gedrosia and Karmania
McCrindle, John Watson
Alexander, the Great, 356 B.C.-323 B.C.; India -- History -- To 324 B.C. -- Sources
In the forty-one chapters of this volume the promise of
the title is well kept, and every aspect of Islam faith
and practice is discussed in a clear, comprehensive, and
interesting manner.—_The Liverpool Mercury._
These _Studies in Mohammedanism_ are conspicuously fair.
The writer is devotedly attached to Christianity, but he
frankly and gladly acknowledges that Mohammed was a man of
extraordinary powers and gifts, and that the religion which
bears his name has done incalculable service to humanity in
keeping the sublime truth of the unity of God before the eyes
of the non-Christian world steeped in polytheism.—_The Bradford
Observer._
This volume will be found both interesting and useful to the
general reader, as supplying in a convenient form a very
good outline of the rise and development, with an account of
the more salient features, of the Mohammedan religion. There
are short chapters also on the Turks, Afghans, Corsairs,
crusades, literature, architecture, slavery, etc., which convey
much public information in a pleasant style.—_The Scottish
Geographical Magazine._
