The Religions of India (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Religions of India<br><br>The growing interest both in this country and abroad in the historical study of religions is one of the most noticeable features in the intellectual phases of the past decades. The more general indications of this interest may be seen in such foundations as the Hibbert and Gifford Lectureships in England, and the recent organization of an American committee to arrange in various cities for lectures on the history of religions, in the establishment of a special department for the subject at the University of Paris, in the organization of the Muse Guimet at Paris, in the publication of a journal - the Revue de l'Histoire des Religions - under the auspices of this Museum, and in the creation of chairs at the Collge de France, at the Universities of Holland, and in this country at Cornell University and the University of Chicago, with the prospect of others to follow in the near future.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
