The mass of curious information collected by Hyde concerning old Persia and the religion and traditions of the Magi (or Zoroastrians) can hardly be imagined without actual perusal. The unwearied industry and subtle intellect of Dr. Hyde placed him in regard to these studies a century before his time.

The introduction by Mr. Thomson, which gives with admirable condensation an analysis of the doctrines of all the Hindu systems of Philosophy, has long been acknowledged to be a masterpiece. 17819 BÜHLER (Georg) Sacred Laws of the Aryas, translated from Apastamba and Gautama, 8vo. cloth, 7s Oxford, 1879 17820 BURNOUF (Emile) Essai sur le Vêda, ou études sur les religions . . de l'Inde jusqu'aux temps Brahmaniques, 8vo. sd. 10s Paris, 1863 17821 COLEBROOKE (H.

The religion, founded towards the end of the fifteenth century, by the prophet and Reformer Nanak, was not a new and strange creation like Mormonism, but like the contemporary agitation in the European Church which produced Luther and the Reformation, it was a striving to recall the purity of faith and worship which were ascribed to the earliest stage of Brahmanism. Hence the books of the Granth afford valuable illustration for the study even of the Vedas and Puranas of quasi-Catholic India. 7.
