Ivrut1 Presented to the Library of the University Cf Toronto, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Ten Great Religions was published in 1871. The success it has met with is probably due to the fact that it contains in a compendium an account of the principal religions of the world, sufficiently full for the wants of those who are not special students of this subject. There exist many works on the separate religions, much more thorough, and which enter into a greater detail. But I suppose it would be diffi cult, even now, to find the chief facts in relation to all of them brought together elsewhere in a single volume. The present work (based on twelve lectures given in theL owell Institute in the winter of 1881-2) is on a different plan. Instead of de scribing and discussing each of the great faiths of mankind separately, it attempts to show what they all teach on the different points of human belief.
