The Koran.
The Koran of Mohammed. Translated by George Sale. 12mo., cloth, 336 pages, 60c. (20c);
The sacred book of the Mohammedans is not only a curiosity from a literary point of view, but is also useful in showing how far inferior to the Bible both in spirit and in teaching is the most popular substitute which man has ever offered therefor. It contains 114 chapters varying in length from a few lines to many pages. This is an excellent translation, is clearly printed on good paper and nicely bound in cloth. Costs but little and should be in every library. Will interest all intelligent readers.
The Talmud.
Pick. The Talmud. What it is. By Rev. Bernhard Pick, Ph.D. Ideal Edition, cloth, 60c. (20c);
“It has proved a grateful task to wander through the mazes of the Talmud and cull flowers yet sparkling with the very dew of Eden. Figures in shining garments haunt its recesses. Prayers of deep devotion, sublime confidence and noble benediction, echo in its ancient tongue. Sentiments of lofty courage, of high resolve, of infantile tenderness, of far-seeing prudence, fall from the lips of venerable sages. No less practicable would it be to stray with an opposite intention, and to extract venom, instead of honey, from the flowers that seem to spring up in self-sown profusion.”—Edinburgh Review.
