1873. This remarkable treatise is a translation from one of the numerous works of the Arabian philosopher, Abou Hamid Mohammed ben Mohammed al Ghazzali, who flourished in the 11th century. Mohammedan scholars of the present day still hold him in high respect. This treatise on the alchemy of happiness is well-adapted to extend our knowledge of the writings of Ghazzali and of the opinions current then and now in the Oriental world. In form, the book contains a treatise on practical piety and the author finds a place for observations reaching far wide of his apparent aim, making many observations which develop his notions in anatomy, physiology, natural philosophy and natural religion.

"Ghazzali," says Tholuck, "if ever any man have deserved the name, was truly a divine, and he may justly he placed on a level with Origen, so remarkable was he for learning and ingenuity, and gifted with such a rare faculty for the skillful and worthy exposition of doctrine. All that is good, noble and sublime, which his great soul had compassed, he bestowed upon Mohammedanism; and he adorned the doctrines of the Koran with so much piety and learning, that, in the form given them by him, they seem in my opinion worthy the assent of Christians. Whatsoever was most excellent in the philosophy of Aristotle or in the Soofi mysticism, he discreetly adapted to the Mohammedan theology. From every school, he sought the means of shedding light and honor upon religion; while his sincere piety and lofty conscientiousness imparted to all his writings a sacred majesty. He was the first of Mohammedan divines."
