"This is the kind of book that should be in the possession of all Indians and India-lovers, travelers to India, or those wanting to understand this ancient and mystical land."Why?"Read this extract from F. Max Muller, one of the foremost foreign scholars who ever worked on Indic studies-"If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power, and beauty that nature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on earth-I should point to India."If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant-I should point to India."And if I were to ask myself from what literature we, here in Europe, we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life-again I should point to India."

First edition. Müller, a "great and learned pandit" (ODNB), exhibits his improved opinion of India and its culture, including of Hinduism and Buddhism. Max Müller (1823-1900) was one of the founders of the Western academic discipline of Indian studies and edited the 5-volume series The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations. In his earlier writings, he was critical of Hinduism in India in comparison to Christianity, but began to write far more favourably in his later works. "If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power, and beauty that nature can bestowin some parts a very paradise on earthI should point to India" (p. 6). Provenance: R.B. Magor (d. 1933), with his 1882 ownership inscription on the front free endpaper. Magor worked for the famous Great Eastern Hotel in Calcutta and established Williamson Magor & Co. Limited, an Indian-based tea business, in 1868. Octavo. With 26 pp. of advertisements to rear. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt, spine and front cover elaborately ruled in black, similar pattern to rear cover in blind, front cover with central decoration in black, dark brown coated endpapers, top edge uncut. Corners and lower edge lightly bumped, minor rubbing to extremities, slight finger soiling to cloth, foxing to edges and occasionally to content, title page a little creased. A very good copy.
