INTRODUCTORY NOTE.

THESE lectures are a part of those given before educated Hindus, by Prof. Seelye, on his recent visit to India. The four here published were written. out, and issued from the press in Bombay, at the earnest request of native gentlemen, one of whom, an eminent Brahmin scholar, offered to bear the expense of publication. It was a matter of regret that the author's brief stay, and the multiplicity of his engagements, lecturing, holding personal conferences with inquirers, answering letters received from others, allowed him time to write out only these; but they will suffice to show the spirit and general character of all.

The interest with which they were received, the large and constantly-increasing audiences of the higher classes, educated Brahmins, Parsees, and others, that listened to them, were not more a tribute to the lecturer than an illustration of the power of the truths he presented over their minds
