A study of the impact of Western Civilisation on Moslem culture in the Near East. In the course of their work, the authors became aware that no adequate account existed of the state of Moslem society before the opening of the nineteenth century. The material in the first part have been drawn as far as possible from the original Turkish and Arabic sources. The second part deals chiefly with the religious and cultural institutions. [Jacket].
