STUDIES IN MOHAMMEDANISM, Historical and Doctrinal, with a chapter on Islam in England. By JOHN 

 J. POOL. W T ith a Frontispiece and Index, pp. xvi. + 420. Cr. 8vo, full cloth. Price 6s. 



An interesting survey all the more readable, perhaps, on account of its informal and even discursive arrangement of 

 Mussulman faith, practice, and history A conspicuous feature of Mr. Pool's work is the account of the Moslem propa- 

 ganda, which Mr. Quilliam, a Liverpool solicitor, is now prosecuting in that city It is tinged by no rancour or con- 

 tempt, and exhibits a conscientious endeavour to appreciate the Mohammedan standpoint. As a " popular text-book," dealing 

 with some of the most picturesque aspects of Islam, it deserves more than ordinary attention. The Times. 



Mr. Pool .... has done good service in publishing this popular exposition of the doctrines and real character of Islam. 



So far as he errs at all, he errs on the side of too much leniency to Mohammedanism Mr. Pool's too favourable 



account of the Moorish regime in Spain is the only part of his book that is open to serious question. The rest of the volume is 

 both readable and instructive. He has evidently studied Islam with great care, and he states his own views with exemplary 

 moderation. The Spectator. 



The chapter which gives information on this matter [Islam in Liverpool] is naturally the most interesting in the volume. . . . 

 As to the other parts of Mr. Pool's book it is difficult to speak too highly. His account of Mohammed and his system is fair 

 and full, abounding in all kinds of illustrative anecdote. The Glasgow Herald.
