Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. "Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies" by Abbe J. A. Dubois, and translated from the French by Henry K. Beauchamp, was first issued in 1906 in London. The paperback book here offered is the reprint of the Third Edition ; it was published in New Delhi by Asian educational Services. The book contains a Prefatory Note by F. Max Muller. Comprised of more than 700 pages, the book presents what is one of the most detailed accounts of all things Hindi. That being said, it must be pointed out that Jean-Antoine Dubois was a French Catholic missionary in India, and thus there is a decided bias contained with this vast reportage. Nevertheless , there are few books which can claim to be so widely inclusive on the subject. TITLE : Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies AUTHOR : Abbe J. A.

"In summing up his own opinion of Abbe Dubois' work Lord William Bentinck remarked--"The result of my own observation during my residence in India is that the Europeans generally know little or nothing of the customs and manners of the Hindus. We are all acquainted with some prominent marks and facts, but their manner of thinking, their domestic habits and ceremonies, in which circumstances a knowledge of the people consists, is, I fear, in great part wanting to us. We understand very imperfectly their language. I have personally found the want of a work to which reference could be made for a just description of the native opinions and manners. I am of opinion that the information which the work of Abbe Dubois has to impart might be of the greatest benefit." "As to the intrinsic values of the Abbe's work, there is no hesitation in saying that it is as valuable today as ever it was, even more valuable in some respects. It is true that a mass of learned literature on the religious and civil life of the Hindus has accumulated since the Abbe's days, and it is still accumulating, but the fact is that the Abbe's work composed as it was in the midst of the people themselves, is of a unique character, for it combines, as no other work on the Hindus combines, a recital of the broad facts of Hindu religion and Hindu sociology with many masterly descriptions, at once comprehensive and minute, of the vie intime of the people among whom he lived for so many years. "What may be regarded as still more satisfactory, perhaps, is that by the Indian themselves the work has been accepted with universal approval and eulogy. The general accuracy of the Abbe's observations has no where been impunged; and every Indian critic of the work has paid a warm tribute to the Abbe's industry, zeal and impartiality. The Hindu in a course of long review of the book remarked that "it is impossible to run through the immense variety of topics touched in this exceedingly interesting books; but we entirely agree with Mr. Beauchamp's opinion that the book is as valuable today as it ever was. It contains a valuable collection of information on a variety of Hindu subjects." Professional book dealer since 1975. All orders are processed promptly and packaged with the utmost care.
