Excerpt from The Crown of HinduismThis book is an attempt to discover and state as clearly as possible what relation subsists between Hinduism and Christianity. It is not meant to be an exhaustive account of Hinduism, though it deals with most of its prominent features. There are other aspects of the religion which might have been ln cluded. Among these the chief is sacrifice and the priest, a subject not less interesting and fruitful than those dealt with in the volume. The reason for its omission is this, that there are large parts of the subject which have not been investigated by scholars, and it was impossible for me to undertake that serious piece of exploration myself. Yet, despite this and other omissions, the book probably contains sufficient material to enable readers to decide whether its main thesis is justifiable.The book was begun in the hope that all that had to be said could be built on foundations already laid by the great scholars, but that proved impossible.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
