The Religion and Philosophy of the Veda and Upanishads v2.c43.319

v2.c43.319

The first chapter gives the picturesque and touching Buddha-legend; the last treats of the monastic order; the other three give the fundamental doctrines of Buddhism. Warren’s material is drawn straight from the fountain-head. It is this fact that gives his book an abiding importance and value. It has been widely circulated in America and Europe and the Orient. Nearly half of the work was included in The Harvard Classics, of which over a quarter of a million sets have been sold. A memorial of Henry Warren as a scholar is appended to this issue, and to the Descriptive List mentioned above.
