First Published in 2000. This title is Volume 3 in the 8-volume series titled Islam, one of the Trüber's Oriental Series. This edition is the result of another fifteen years' study of Islam, and of further intercourse with Musalmans. It deals with certain phases of modern Muslim thought in India and in Persia which found no place in the first edition. The result is that a considerable amount of fresh matter has been added, though the general form of the book has not been altered. All who are engaged in this enterprise will find help in this volume - it may also throw light on the political questions of the day.
