His followers everywhere met with an ignorant, and easily deluded people. The monuments of science, and the means of freedom to the mind of man had been abolished by the barbarians of the north. Philosophy and the liberal arts found no patrons amongst indolent and luxuri- ous emperors and nobility. Superstition, there- fore, naturally took possession of the mind, and as neither fears nor hopes were moderated by knowledge, idle, unnecessary, and uncommanded ceremonies easily obtained currency. M...ahomet only changed one set of ceremonies for another, and in this there was no difficulty, when in the al- most universal darkness of mankind, terror and credulity prevailed. The continuance of the religion of Mahomet in countries over which the Arab dominion ceased, may with equal ease be accounted for.
