The Original Sources of the Qur'an by W. St. Clair Tisdall (Comprehensive, 287 pages, 1905)

It contains already most of the important material, but being only a third in size (about 100 pages) it is not as thoroughly documented as the later edition (it also has a few minor mistakes that have been corrected in the later edition), but this is the version that has been reprinted many times, probably because it is much quicker to read. A Word to the Wise: Being a defence of the "Sources of Islam" in response to two Muslim reactions to his above book.
