Excerpt from Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute, Vol. 21: Or Philosophical Society of Great Britain
The Twenty-first Volume of the Journal of the Transactions of the Victoria Institute is now issued. It contains papers by the following authors: - The Rev. H. J. Clarke, on "Evolution." The Rev. Richard Collins, M.A., on "Krishna, and Solar Myths," the paper being a careful investigation as to the historical character of the story of Krishna, and an inquiry into the truth of the view advanced by certain modern writers, - that the narrative of Christ"s life had a connexion with and was, at least in a measure, derived from the story of Krishna, and that the latter had influenced Christianity. The Institute is indebted to those who took part in considering this subject, and specially to Professor F. Max Muller, and to Professors E. B. Cowell, M.A. (Professor of Sanscrit at Cambridge), R. K. Douglas, M.A., A. Edersheim, D.D., Terrien de Lacouperie, M.A., and Doctor G. W. Leitner, Principal of the Oriental College: some important remarks by Sir Monier Monier-Williams, K.C.I.B., have been added in the Appendix to the Volume. This whole subject has now been so thoroughly sifted as to have entirely disposed of the question. The Right Honourable Lord Grimthorpe contributes a paper on "The Beauty of Nature," to which the Rev. William Arthur, M.A., has added some remarks of high value.
