JOHN’S SQUARETO THE RECTOR AND FELLOWS OF EXETER COLLEGE OXFORD THIS VOLUME IS RESPECTFULLY DUDICATED AS A SMALL TOKEN OF GRATITUDE FOR THE MANY BIESSINGS WHICH HAVE IN THAT SOCIETY BEEN ENJOYED BY THE AUTHORPREFACE As a dialogue almost of necessity precludes a. sytematic treatment of the opinions with which it is dealing some synthetical account of the doctrines of the Brahmans may app [...] It is generally thought that it was by the river Saraswati in the Panjab that the schools of the learned seers of old were frequented and the Sarawata tribe of Brahamans even to this day are in high honour. [...] So that to assert the use of the senses is not to 'deny the absolute necessity of sometNing more than the senses—as thisiinstjance will show whether yoli consider this to be a case of common or of sacred knowledge.

[...] to Rye by the alms of the pious a id to make religion their portion; to offer sacrifices for the other tribes and teachothe sacred books; and to decidp about 'difficult cases in regard to pollutions the kind otdonemeiltoecessaly the mode of dealing with heretics apd the like.
