This little volume is an abridgment of The Life of Mahomet, published by Messrs. Smith and Elder. It was prepared on behalf of the RELIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY, with the view of giving, in small compass and easy form, the substance of the larger work. But it has been the Author`s endeavour that nothing should be omitted essential to a fair understanding either of the Prophet`s life, or of the Faith established by him. The facts on which the narrative is based have been taken direct from the earliest Arabian authorities, of which an account is given in the larger work. At the same time full advantage has been taken of the standard biographies of Weil and Sprenger. The present edition differs in no way from the first, excepting in occasional amendments, chiefly verbal, and in several illustrations drawn and engraved from Ali Bey, Burton, and a beautifully illustrated volume, La Civilization des Arabes, by Dr. Le Gustave de Bon.
