About The Book -: The time for writing an elaborate History of Religion, even of Religions, has not yet come. Not a few special investigations must be instituted, not a few difficult questions elucidated, before anything like this can be done. But it is useful, even necessary, from time to time to sum up the amount of certain knowledge, gathered by the researched of several years, and sketch, be it here and there with an uncertain hand, the draught of what may at some time become a living picture. So I have narrated the History of Religion “till the spread of the universal religions,” of Buddhism in Eastern, Islam in Western Asia, and of Christianity in the Roman Empire. As Buddhism only reigned supreme in Hindostan and Dekhan now and then for while, and was finally driven out from both parts of the Indian peninsula, with the sole exception of Ceylon.
