EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 



" Mr Bosworth Smith writes as a Christian, and a genuine catholic spirit pervades 

 his lectures, the main object of which he boldly avows is, ' if possible, to render some 

 measure of that justice to Mohammed and to his religion which has been all too 

 long, and is still all too generally, denied to them.' He brings to the chivalrous 

 task considerable research among the best European Orientalists, and has executed 

 it throughout with a union of candour and reverence befitting a subject of such 

 momentous importance as the religious creed of a sixth of the human race. . . . 

 I commend these lectures to the attentive yet careful perusal of the student, the 

 politician, and the missionary." Dr GEORGE PERCY BADGER in the Contemporary 

 Review. 



"Mr Bosworth Smith brings to his subject the broad catholic views which we 

 might expect in a Harrow master. ... He possesses a clear judgment, unfettered 

 by a too dogmatic form of religious belief. . . . We have the facts of Mohammed's 

 life, and minutely circumstantial these facts are. All that is needed is the mind that 

 can see the true meaning of the facts, and grasp the complex character of the great man 

 whose life they mark out like the stones of a grand but intricate mosaic." Academy.

CARTHAGE AND THE CARTHAGINIANS 



With 11 Maps, Plans, and Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. 



" By unsparing research, which none but an accomplished scholar could make by 

 prolonged reading and study, by the gifts of great earnestness, and of a picturesque 

 and lively style, charged with enthusiastic admiration for Hannibal, the hero of this 

 work ; and last, but not least, by personal observation of many of the localities and 

 stages upon which the decisive acts of that tragic combat between Rome and Carthage 

 were fought, Mr Smith is well qualified for his task. He has clothed the dry bones of 

 Carthaginian history with flesh and life ; and few, indeed, are those readers who will 

 not thrill as they follow him in Roman ships to victory in the great naval battle of 

 Ecnomus, or shudder in contemplation of Hannibal's bloody triumph at Cannae." 

 The Daily Telegraph. 



" It is impossible to read our author's very interesting work without feeling that he 

 writes on the subject with real enthusiasm, and that he has made the most of the 

 materials at his disposal. He appears to have worked diligently at the original sources 

 of our knowledge, and the result is a volume which all scholars and historians will find 

 very acceptable. At the same time he tells his story so pleasantly, and with such 

 spirit, that the general reader cannot fail to be profoundly interested. . . . We are 

 quite sure that this interesting volume, which puts together as much as we can know 

 of Rome's great and almost victorious rival, will please and instruct all its readers." 

 The Spectator.
