Notes:

Clicking on each year below displays the contents pages of all the issues of that year in one file.
The files of The Islamic Review issues below are usually between 2MB and 3MB in size. A few files may be larger than this. In four cases we have split one issue into two files to keep the file-size down.
The First Series is complete except for a few issues that were not available to us so far (for example, July, September and November 1913). Also, within some of the available issues, one or two pages are missing. We have indicated this, as far as possible, by inserting blank pages in their place, bearing the text: Missing page or pages.

Each link below marked Contents opens a file consisting of all the contents pages of the issues of that year.

Regarding the monthly issues accessible below, please note:

The sizes of these files are large, between 6 and 12 MB. When you click on a link to view a file in your Acrobat Reader, it may take several minutes before the entire file appears. If you have problems, we advise that instead of opening a link you save it. This is done by right-clicking on the link and selecting to save the file at a location on your PC. After the entire file has been saved on your PC, you can open it by going to the folder where you saved it.

The centre pages of these issues were usually a double-page spread. In the files below, these appear as two separate pages: the left half followed by the right half of the centre spread.

As in case of the First Series above, some issues are missing from this series.
