Ali, Syed Ameer
In the following pages I have attempted to give the history
of the evolution of Islam as a world-religion ; of its rapid
spread and the remarkable hold it obtained over the conscience
and minds of millions of people within a short space of
time. The impulse it gave lo the intellectual development of
the human race is generally recognised. But its great work in
the uplifting of humanity is eitner ignored or not appreciated ;
nor are its rationale, its ideals and its aspirations properly
understood. It has been my endeavour in the survey of
Islam to elucidate its true place in the history of religions.
The review of its rationale and ideals, however feeble, may be
of help to wanderers in quest of a constructive faith to steady
the .human mind after the· strain of the recent cataclysm; it
is also hoped that to those who follow the Faith of Islam it
may be of assistance in the understanding and exposition of
the foundations of their convictions

Darling, Malcolm Lyall
THIS is primarily a study of agricultural debt in the
Punjab. But it is also something more, for debt, when
as wide-spread as it is in this country, touches the whole of
economic life, and to understand the causes of the one we
must know something of the conditions of the other. This
explains the method and scope of the book, which, in examining
the main problem of the Punjab peasantry, seeks to give
some idea of the peasant himself in all his varying conditions
of heat and cold, drought and flood, river and waste,
abundance and want. If I have been over-bold, I would
shelter myself behind the words of Malthus, that That,When a
man faithfully relates any facts which have come within the
scope of his own observation,however confined it may have
been,he undoubtedly adds to the sum of general knowledge
and confers a benefit on society. This is indeed the only
claim that I can make, that I have endeavoured faithfully to
relate the facts which have come to my knowledge, and have
set them down with no more comment than seemed necessary
to their understanding. If further justification is needed, it
is that, though the indebtedness of the Indian cultivator is
a fertile theme for politician and journalist, 'the sum of
general knowledge' on the subject is small: how small will be
seen from the opening pages of the first chapter
