Prospectus issued will serve the purposes of a Preface :U pwards of three years ago my book on the Orthodox Systems of Hindu Philosophy was published in America by a very respectable firm, under the au spices mainly of the Punjab Tract Society, which bought five hundred copies for circulation in this country. The book was favorably reviewed both in America and here, and Mr. Hooper, a Sanscrit scholar and an expert, wrote an appreciative article on it, representing it as umore complete than either Dr. Bjanerjea s Dialogues or Father Goreh s Refutation. Consiering the nature of the subjects treated of in the Book, it hap had, I have been assured by Mr. Raha, a fair sale, and if thj3 copies instead of being deposited in one centre had been distributed to the various Depositories in India a larger sale mijffht have been ensured. The short Preface to the book concludes with a promise my part to bring out a Companion Volume of the same on the Heterodox Systems. This promise I am now in a ppsition to fulfil. I have during the last three years been studying these systems consulting all the sources available to fhe English reader and I have written articles on them ;m jd some of these have, from time to time, appeared in the Calcutta Review and the Indian Evangelical Review.
