Excerpt from Brahmanism and Hinduism
My aim in the following pages has been partially stated in the introductory observations. It has been my earnest endeavour to give such an account of a very dry and complex subject as shall not violate scholarlike accuracy, and yet be sufficiently readable to attract general readers.
The part now published only deals with one half of the whole programme, but it will be found to constitute a separate and independent work, and to comprise the three most important and difficult phases of Indian religious thought - Vedism, Brahmanism, and Hinduism.
That the task, so far completed, has been no easy one will be readily admitted, and I have given the best proof of my sense of its difficulty by not venturing to undertake it without long preparation.
