The Ethics of Islam - Paperback

This little work embodies the substance of a lecture delivered to the Society for the Higher Training of Youths, and forms a mere attempt towards the exposition of Islamic Ethics in the English language, -a task not unattended with difficulty owing to the extended range of selection. At the instance, however, of friends interested in the education of Mahommedan youths and in the diffusion of correct notions of Islamic morality among outsiders, I am induced to place this brochure in the hands of the public, in the hope that it may, perhaps, help towards bridging the gulf which still in the nineteenth century divides the Mahommedans, not only from the Hindoos, but also from the Christians-followers of a cognate creed.
