REVIEWS. 

 " His aim has been to give a faithful account of the Hindoo 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 re- 

 frained 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 infor- 

 mation." — Indian Daily News.
