The dervishes : or, Oriental spiritualism . es, Malcolm, Lane, Ubicini, and De Gobi-neau—some differences will be perceived, mostly withregard to the estimate placed by each of these uponthe character and influence of The Dervishes inthe Mussulman world. To these eminent authors I amunder great obligations, and take the present oppor-tunity of acknowledging them. To the kindness of Dr. Rost, the secretary of theRoyal Asiatic Society, in getting my little work throughthe press, I am more deeply indebted than I can hereproperly express. As a book of reference, I trust that this imperfectwork will prove of some use ; and travellers in theEast will perhaps be enabled to learn from it muchthat would be otherwise obscure and hidden fromtheir knowledge. Much more could have been addedto it, especially with regard to the Dervish Orders inthe more distant parts of Asia, India, and Africa; but Ihope that some one more competent than myself Avillcollect the information which was beyond my reach.
