Apology for Mohammed [PDF ebook] 
And the Koran

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IT may be truly affirmed that of all known legislators and conquerors, not one can be named, the history of whose life has been written with greater authenticity and fuller detail, than that of Mohammed. In fact, strip his biography of the prodigies which Asiatic writers have ever affected, and What remains may confidently defy incredulity itself. At the period of Mohammed’s birth a great part of Arabia was under a foreign yoke; all the northern portion of Arabia Petraea, as well as Syria, Palestine and Egypt.
