Buddhism, in Its Connexion with Brahmanism and Hinduism

The Oxford professor of Sanskrit surveys the Buddha's life, the Sangha, the scriptures, the councils and the spread of Buddhism to Ceylon, Burma, Tibet, China and Japan, and compares it throughout with Hinduism and with his own Christian faith. A learned Victorian outsider's view, useful for its detail and for seeing how Buddhism was presented in the West in the 1880s.
