Descripción
A Literary History of the Arabs, the present edition is printed from the original plates, there could be no question of revising the book throughout and recasting it where necessary; but while only a few pages have been rewritten, the Bibliography has been brought up to date and I have removed several mistakes from the text and corrected others in an appendix which includes a certain amount of supplementary matter.
As stated in the preface to the first edition, I hoped «to compile a work which should serve as a general introduction to the subject, and which should be neither too popular for students nor too scientific for ordinary readers.
It has been my chief aim to sketch in broad outlines what the Arabs thought, and to indicate as far as possible the influences which molded their thought.
