Moslems, laymen and scholars, will probably not agree with some of Major Leonard's remarks in his outline of the Prophet's character and temperament; but they must all acknowledge his sincerity. He describes Mohammed as a great and true man-great not only as a teacher, but as a patriot and statesman; a material as well as a spiritual builder, who constructed a nation and an enduring Faith, which holds, to a greater degree than most others, the hearts of millions of human beings; a man true to himself and his people, but above all to his God.
Interesting creation theory that the world was born out of a watery existence, long before dry land appeared.
It was my privilege, many years ago, to make the acquaintance of the obscure literary hermit, whose talk I have tried to reproduce in the pages that follow.

Those who have learned a little of the Ancient Wisdom know the illumination, the peace, the joy, the strength, its lessons have brought into their lives. That this book may win some to use its teachings, and to prove for themselves their value, is the prayer with which it is sent forth into the world.
The market prices of commodities vary from day to day and often several times a day. This occurs when there is no radical difference in the proportion of the supply and the natural demand. This fact is conclusive proof that our system is controlled by manipulators and fundamentally wrong. I have sought to elucidate this problem within this volume and have suggested a plan which if adopted would make the people the master of the world, instead of the present master-THE MONEY TRUST.
A good translation of the Bhagavad Gita, with its history, and explanations of its meanings.
This is a revolutionary work. As such, many statements may anger some readers. However, I will stick to the facts, and never make any misleading statements, nor will I make generalizations based on anything I know to be lies.
One of the most enlightened and exhaustive studies into the Bhagavad Gita, especially for the European and Western mindset.
The religious and spiritual meaning of the Gita explained.
It was somewhere, I think, towards the autumn of the year 1889 that the thought occurred to me that I might perhaps try to write a little in the modern way. For, hitherto, I had been, as it were, wearing costume in literature.

This book was originally published on a mimeograph. Remember those? When the pages were printing in a bluish purple ink? And that wonderful smell! Some pages fade light in spots, because it was from the mimeograph printing. Yet, nearly all of it is readable, and it will make a great gift to a serviceman/woman. This book was originally published by the U.S. Government at Fort Leavenworth. Was it for new recruits or for special servicemen at the prison?
