 hairs which had fallen from the Prophet, and these he con- 

 cealed in his head-gear and he became a terror to the opposers 

 and to the false demons, being ten times more valiant than

 we give a tribute of thanks and appreciation to our good 

 friend Liu Chih for any interest afforded by this brief review 

 of his work of long ago. He rests from his labours, and it is 

 certain he never dreamed that his "Annals of the Prophet" 

 would one day be discussed before such a Society as this, or 

 achieve such publicity before foreigners as we may yet be- 

 able to give it.
