An English civil servant who worked in British India and Nepal,
Brian Houghton Hodgson (c.1801 94) was also a specialist in Tibetan
Buddhism. First published in 1874, this is a collection of his
essays on nineteenth-century Nepal and Tibet, earlier versions of
which had appeared in the Journal of the Bengal Asiatic Society and
two books of Hodgson's own, later updated for the Phoenix, a
monthly magazine for China, Japan and eastern Asia. Diverse in
coverage, the essays represent over thirty years' research. Those
in Part 1 focus on Buddhism, covering religious practices, writing,
literature, attitudes to Buddhism and the differences between
Buddhism and Shaivism. The pieces in Part 2 explore other aspects
of Nepal and the Himalayas, such as tribal culture, colonisation
and commerce. Discussing a range of linguistic, cultural,
sociological and economic topics, this collection remains relevant
to scholars working in these fields.
