Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

xvi, 484 p.; 23 cm. Letters written mainly to Mrs. C. L. Currie and edited by her. Very full analytical contents `A clever, nice Hindoo teaches me for half an hour every day except Sunday. He comes every day with his two strokes of red paint on his forehead; by these he declares himself a worshipper of some special deity. I have not yet learnt the mysteries of all these signs which the Hindoos carry on their foreheads; some day I hope to be initiated. A word now about the Hindoo religion. The Brahmins count in their number some really learned men, learned in their philosophy, and in their literature. They keep their followers completely in the dark, or mystify those who have come in contact with Western life by denying that they are idolaters, and giving a symbolical meaning to their idols and worship. The fact is, Hindooism consists in gross idolatry, carried on with endless lights, tom-toming, i.e. drumming, and unmeaning cries. It is a most impure religion, and much obscenity and indecency is mixed up with their festivals. Some of their worship has come to light in the courts. The very temples and idols scarcely attempt to veil the wickedness. One sees the depth to which the devil has degraded his victims.' (1887, p. 269) -- `I have been reading some of Pusey and Meyrick on our Lady. Dreadfully unpleasant reading; showing a state of mind quite phenomenal and to be feared.' (1886, p. 177) -- `Is it true that Canon Liddon's health has broken down? For many reasons I should regret it, but especially for the unfinished Life of Dr. Pusey. We want to know more of the interior life of this man, if he had one.' (1889, p. 475) VG lightly edgeworn orig. maroon cloth.…
