He produced grammars of Hindi, Sanskrit and Persian, translations of Indian linguistics, and a science primer in English and Sanskrit (also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection). Intended for the Tyro missionary and published in 1859, this work offers a summary of Hinduism (covering the Nyaya, Sankhya and Vedanta schools) and argues for the truth of Christianity, while acknowledging certain shared ideas. It contains a facing Sanskrit translation (with redactions of parts considered to be of no importance to 'those whom the missionary has to teach'). A valuable primary source for scholars of orientalism, this work helps to illuminate the religious dimensions of British imperialism.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAdvertisement\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e General view of the Hindu systems of philosophy\u003cbr\u003e Christianity contrasted with Hindu philosophy\u003cbr\u003e Appendix of notes and dissertations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Theology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Theology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Theology%20%5BHRLB%5D%22\"\u003eHRLB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266125549848,"sku":"9781108056564","price":25.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108056564i_9997310c-2327-45ef-a6c3-ae70dad76c13.jpg?v=1696747307","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/christianity-contrasted-with-hindu-philosophy-an-essay-in-five-books-sanskrit-and-english-paperback-9781108056564","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
