P. 129. Contribution in an almost equal degree of the three great religious sects, the Buddhists, the Hindus and the Jains, in the temples and monastaries of Ellora.
Pp. 130 131. Remarks on Jain temples: They are very perfect, very elaborate, very sumptuous, but one and all destitute of creative genius. They are richly decorated, but we are struck with their narrow nerveless design and we gaze unmoved at their composed and icy images. It has always been so with the Jains. They followed the Buddhist at an early date in adopting iconism in their religion, but even at the beginning of the Christian era their sculptures displayed the same nerveless character that they do in mediaeval and later times. It is dangerous to utilize Buddhist works as a basis for determining as grounds of style the age of Jain works, or vice versa.
