Margoliouth, David Samuel. Mohammed, the rise of Islam. [**]$1.35. Putnam.
This fortieth volume in the “Heroes of the nations” series, “gives first a survey of the conditions of Arabia and Arab life at the time when Mohammed first appeared.... The biography of the prophet consists largely in following the military, political, and religious campaigns with which he spread the religion of Islam, and which Mr. Margoliouth traces in detail.... His genius, according to this biographer, was equal to the emergencies, but not too great for them.” (N. Y. Times.)

“Apart from the dragoon-like treatment of the question of the prophet’s sincerity and of all phases of his religious development, and despite defects of verbosity and discursiveness, the book is of no uncertain value.”
