Excerpt from A History of Civilization in Ancient India, Vol. 2

A great work has been recently completed. An English translation of the Rig Veda Sanhita, which was commenced by Dr. H. H. Wilson many years ago, has lately been brought to completion by Professor E. B; Cowell of Cambridge, and Mr. W. F. Webster. I only regret I had not the advantage of consulting the last portions of this work before my chapters on the Vedic Age passed through the press.

Excerpt from A History of Civilization in Ancient India, Vol. 2

My account of Buddhism has been condensed as far as possible,-but nevertheless fills a good portion of the present volume. It is essential, however, to grasp the principles of the religion, in order to comprehend the history Of India during eight centuries during which Buddhism was the prevailing religion of India. It is still the prevailing religion of Asia, and recent researches disclose to us its intimate connexion with the religion of Europe. In treating this subject, I have followed the same method as in the other portions of my work, and have furnished my readers with copious extracts from the texts on which my conclusions are based.

In conclusion, it is my pleasing duty to acknowledge the help which I received, while this second volume was passing through the press, from my esteemed friends, Mr. G. A. Grierson, of the Bengal Civil Service, and Pundit Hara Prasad Sastri, m.a., Librarian to the Bengal Government. As labourers in the field of Indian antiquities, both these scholars are doing useful and valuable work, and they have kindly and cordially rendered help to a fellow-labourer in the same field. I am indebted to them for many valuable hints and much useful information.
