One of the incidental consequences of the success of British arms
in eighteenth-century India was the appearance of a number of
publications which reflect the intense curiosity of contemporary
Europeans about strange peoples, their manners and religions. Of
the three principal religions of India, Hinduism attracted the most
attention. European contact with Islam was several centuries old,
while few travellers could identify Buddhism with any certainty.
This book reprints some of the most significant English
contributions to the early European understanding of Hinduism.
