The Great Religions of India (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Great Religions of India<br><br>The Duff Missionary Lectureship was instituted in 1880, both as a memorial of that prince of Missionaries, the Rev. Dr Alexander Duff, and at the same time as a means of advancing that cause to which he had devoted his life. By the terms of the trust deed a course of lectures, not fewer than six in number, must be delivered every four years in Edinburgh and Glasgow, or in Glasgow and Edinburgh, or in Edinburgh and Glasgow alternately. The Trustees are men belonging to different denominations, and the Lecturer must be a minister, a professor, or a godly layman of some Evangelical Church.<br><br>The author of the following lectures was a life-long friend of Dr Duff; but apart altogether from this relationship, no man living has had a longer experience of missionary work, or a wider personal acquaintance with missions in every part of the world.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
