The author, Edouard Rene Lefebvre-Laboulaye, was French and as it states on the title page a "Membre de L'Institute De France". Laboulaye was one of only forty members at the time according to the "Introductory Essay" pgs. 3-8. He was a lawyer who wrote this book as a labor of love. The name Abdallah signifies the servant of God, according to the note on the bottom of the last page of the book.
The introductory essay states about this work that "it is not only good in itself but it will be, it is now, the cause of good in others". It sounds like an inspiring and wonderful, classic story.
Book is very rare, used but like new, and a definite collector's item!
