BY 
REv. W. J. WILKINS, 
OF THE LONDON MISSIONARY 
SOCIETY, CALCUTTA, 
— 
Illustrated by One Hundred Engravings 
chiefly from Drawings by Native Artists, 
REVIEWS. 
‘His aim has been to give a faithful account of the Hindu deities such as an 
intelligent native would himself give, and he has endeavoured, in order to achieve 
his purpose, to keep his mind free from prejudice or theological bias. To help to 
completeness he has included a number of drawings of the principal deities, executed 
by native artists. “The author has attempted ‘a work of no little ambition and has 
succeeded in his attempt, the volume being one of great interest and usefulness ; 
and not the less so because he has strictly refrained from diluting his facts with 
comments of his own. It has numerous illustrations.”"—Home News. 
“Mr, Wilkins has done his work well, with an honest desire to state facts apart 
from all theological prepossession, and his volume is likely to be a useful book of 
reference.’ —Guardian. 
“‘In Mr. Wilkins’ book we have an illustrated manual, the study of which will lay 
a solid foundation for more advanced knowledge, while it will furnish those who 
may have the desire without having the time or opportunity to go further into the 
subject, with a really extensive stock of accurate information.’ —/zdian Daily News.
