Excerpt from The Mutual Influence of Muhammadans and Hindus, in Law, Morals, and Religion During the Period of Muhammadan Ascendancy: Being the Le Bas Prize Essay This essay, which is published in accordance with the conditions attached to the Le Bas Prize, aims at portraying the changes in Law, Morality and Religion, which Muhammadanism caused and sustained during the period of its supremacy in India. Covering so wide a range of research, it is naturally under considerable obligations to previous writers. To enumerate these in full would be superfluous, since specific acknowledgments are made at the foot of each page. But that indebtedness which is too considerable to be acknowledged in notes should not be passed over here. The introductory chapter, which attempts by depicting the characteristics of Hinduism and Muhammadanism to elucidate the conditions of the problem, is of such a nature as to dispense for the most part with references. The pages treating of Hinduism were written almost without consultation of books by the light of previous reading.
