Being Personal Reminiscences Of India: It People, Castes, Thugs, And Fakirs; Its Religions, Mythology, Principal Monuments, Palaces And Mausoleums.

The writer trusts that these pages may encourage and strengthen the faith of God's elect in that almighty Power which, even in the idolatrous and conservative East, is so manifestly subduing all things unto Himself. Here may be discerned the dawn of that day, so long foretold, when all Oriental races shall be blessed in a Redeemer who was himself Asiatic by birth and blood and the sphere of His personal ministry -- whose cross was erected on that continent, and whose first ministers and members were taken from among that people. The writer has not concealed his conviction that human history, and the movements and changes of thrones, and powers, and kingdoms, can be fully understood only in the light of the doctrine of the Second Psalm. Jesus Christ, the divine and eternal Son of God, who created and redeemed this world, is its "Master and Lord."--Preface.
