First sentence: SO much has of late been before the reading public in regard to Buddhism, that we refrain from inserting a long and important "Study" prepared by us on that Faith and its founder ; and will give instead some researches into its origin in connection with its cruder form, Jainism, and show the early centres of both faiths-their paths and influences, especially westwards and up to the second century, when the Christian Gospels were first recognised, a subject on which we contributed some papers to an American journal, 1886-7.
