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." Indian Daily News.
