by every human being on the earth. It is based on right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, tempered with merey, the foundations of true religion. The analysis and synthesis of the principles contained in these words require skilful handling when they are to be placed before the larger public than the devoted Jains only.
It is most essential that every educated Jain should go through this present volume, wherein he will find Several topics that will interest him and widen his knowledge. The whole book is written in a language free from technical words and affords easy reading even to a layman. The book will also interest western scholers and will be found of real importance to the students of the Jain principles and theory.
It is a pity to find that these important Volumes are not translated into vernacolars, as the Jain brethern in general could realize the importance of the work done by Mr. Virchand Raghavji Gandhi and we wish that this book will be translated in the near future in all vernaculars, so that all Jains may avail of the work done by Mr. Gand hi.
So with confidence we recommend this book to the public desirous of knowing principles of Jainism and wish this book will have every success.
