To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This flight of the Prophet from Mecca to Medina is called the Hejira. It took place in 622 a.d. From that flight dates the Mohammedan era. In the second year of the Hejira Mohammed declared war against Mecca, and defeated the tribe of Qnraish at Badr ; and from that moment, suffering but few reverses, Mohammed, the efficient preacher, was a successful conqueror. His death took place at Medina in the year 632 a.d. One great feature distinguishing Mohammedan- ism from Christian religions is the w...orldly success of its founder. Had Christianity been connected with any particular form of government, it could never have attained the success which it has now attained. Mohammed was a successful man from a temporal point of view, and was considered by all whom he met to be a Caesar and Pope combined. We need not pursue the parallel, which is obvious to every reader ; we need not recall how the Founder of Christianity fared in this respect. The Koran, which embodies the Mohammedan doctrines, is held in as great veneration by Moslems as is the Old Testament by the Jews, and the Old and New Testaments by Christians.
