THE LIGHT OF ASIA; 
Or, The Great Renunciation. 
Being the Lifé and Teaching of Gautama, Prince of India and Founder of Buddhism, 
TOLD IN VERSE BY AN INDIAN BUDDHIST. 
By EDWIN ARNOLD, C.S.I., Author of ‘‘ The Indian Song of Songs.” 
‘*Mz, Edwin Amold’'s poem, the ‘Light of Asia,’ is the most sympathetic account ever 
published in Europe of the life and teaching of the Sakya Saint, Prince Gautama Siddartha, 
the Lord Buddha. . . . Itis beyond the scope of the present review to enter into any 
explanation of the Dharma (Law of Righteousness), Karma, Nirvana, and other tenets and 
precepts of Buddhism. They will be found summed up in Buddha’s ‘Sermon on the Mount,’ 
the poetical paraphrase of which in Mr. Arnold's ‘ Light of Asia’ is one of. the most interesting 
chapters of his book.”’— 7zmes. 
‘Tt is a work of great beauty. It tells a story of intense interest, which never flags for a 
moment ; its descriptions are drawn by the hand of a master with the eye of a poet and the 
familiarity of an expert with the objects described ; its tone is so lofty that there is nothing 
with which to compare it but the New Testament ; it is full of variety, now picturesque, now 
pathetic, now rising into the noblest realms of thought and aspiration ; it finds language 
penetrating, fluent, elevated, impassioned, musical always, to clothe its varied thoughts and 
sentiments,” —OLIVER WENDELL Homes, Jnéernational Review, October, 1879.
