Outlines of Jainism c4.3

c4.3

The *Outlines* were sketched in England in 1908–9, for the purpose of conveying to Brother H. Warren what little I knew of Jainism. Mr. Warren typed his notes, which helped me considerably in preparing the English portion of the book. My friend Brother Jaina-bhushana Brahmachari Sital Pershadji, of Bombay, helped me to select the original texts at Allahabad in 1913. In the same year in London Dr. F. W. Thomas, of the India Office Library and President of the Jaina Literature Society, London, most kindly undertook to help me with the publication of the book. For the labour which he has bestowed upon the revision of the manuscript, and upon the arrangements for printing and publication, I now beg to tender my cordial thanks. Without the help of these three friends, Dr. F. W. Thomas, Brothers Sital Pershad and Warren, it would have been impossible for the book to have seen the light.
