Summary:	"Compiled, in a great measure, from two Arabic works of great authority among the Mohummudans of India--the Sirajiyyah and its commentary the Shureefeeah--and, in so far as relates to mere inheritance, it is little more than a condensation of their contents reduced to an English form. The Sirajiyyah was translated by Sir William Jones, but, being very brief and rather obscure, it is not easily understood without the aid of a commentary or a living instructor to unfold and illustrate its meaning. With the assistance of the Shureefeeah, it is brought within the reach of any ordinary capacity; and, if the abstract of that commentary, for which we are also indebted to Sir William Jones, had been more copious, little more might have been required to give the English reader a complete view of this excellent system of inheritance. The 'Principles of Mohummudan Law,' by Sir William Macnaghten, so far as relates to inheritance, are founded on the same authorities ; that is, for each rule there is generally a quotation from one or other of them, under a corresponding number in an appendix to the work"--Preface, page [v]/vi.
