The wealth of material gave rise to endless digressions wherein the thread of the subject is often lost for whole chapters. Fifteen years' study has enabled the Editor to trace the thread of the argument far more clearly than at first, and have cut out obsolete science. All Sanskrit terms have been put into English, and the triune constitution of man (body, soul and spirit) adopted wherever possible instead of the more complicated seven-fold division. There has been nothing added to the text, except a few notes and 1 or 2 diagrams, all marked �������Ed.������� Part 1 Cosmogenesis; Part 2 Anthropogenesis.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
