PUBLISHERS' NOTE
We have great pleasure in publishing Mr. G. Barry Gifford's English translation of an important German work on the Doctrine of Karman in Jain Philosophy written by Dr. Helmuth von Glasenapp, which enjoys the distinction of having won for its author Doctorate of Philosophy of the University of Bonn, and of being very popular among the German reading public.
The translation was specially got made by the author for the late Babu Jivanlal Panalal and was supplied to him in consideration of a decent sum paid by him with the object of making the contents of the original German work available to Jains and of creating in the minds of English reading non-Jains a liking for Jainism.
We will consider the object of this publication sully served if it perpetuates the revered memory of the late Bai Vijibai, wife of the late Babu Jivanlal Panalal, and promotes the educational and cultural advancement of its readers, both Jains and non-Jains.
Our thanks are due to Prof. H. R. KAPADIA, M.A., for the c-fficiency with which the work is edited, and to the Karnatak Printing Press for the promptness and excellence with which the work is executed,
