Excerpt from The Exposition of the Vedanta Philosophy
Controversy is always painful; and would be worse than useless, if it did not lead to the removal of error, and even, occasionally, to the discovery of truth. As the writer believes that both these ends have, to a certain degree, been attained in the following remarks, he has had a few copies printed off separately for his private friends, as well as for the use of scholars. The limits assigned to such letters in a Journal caused a few paragraphs and notes to be omitted, which will be now found incorporated in the following pages, as the writer deemed their insertion necessary to complete his views of the various subjects of which he has treated. Had the Velanta philosophy been the only point of consideration, it would hardly have been of sufficient importance to have called for this separate impression; but, as other topics of more general interest have arisen out of that question, it seemed to him advisable, particularly as it supplied the unavoidable omissions of his published letter, to put the whole in that form that might at once give them a chance of more general perusal, as well as of deliberate consideration. A few verbal inaccuracies that occurred in the hurrv of its first publication have been corrected.
An Appendix has been added with the special view of elucidating the question of Cause and Effect; as well as of demonstrating the absurdity of the celebrated ancient maxim, ex nihilo, nihil fit.
