1876. Rev. Vaughan presents a view of the religious history of India during the Hindu, Buddhist, Mohammedan and Christian periods in this book. His aim has been to stir up among thoughtful and intelligent Christians a deeper interest in India by making its religious history better known. To the antiquarian, the philosopher, the metaphysician, this subject presents a rare field for research and study; to an earnest Christian it appeals with special force; in the mind of such an one it awakens sentiments of tender sympathy and thrilling interest. Partial Contents: early Hindus; nature and origin of caste; early Hinduism; mediaeval Hinduism; Buddhist era; Mohammedam era; later Hinduism; dissolving agencies; aggressive efforts; native church; conclusion.
