Excerpt from Twelve Lectures on the Connexion Between Science and Revealed Religion, Vol. 2: Delivered in Rome
After having thus ascertained, as far as we may, when was first constructed and adorned this the atre, upon which have been acted all the great scenes of human life, it may seem superfluous to interrogate those who have trod its stage, how long it is since they commenced their varied drama of war and peace, of barbarism and civiliza tion, of rude vices and of simple virtues. For, in nature, whom we have hitherto consulted, there is no pride, no desire, and no power, to represent herself other than in reality she is. But if we ask the oldest nations, when they sprang up, and when they first entered on the career of their social existence, there arise instantly, in the way of a candid reply, a multitude of petty ambitions, jealousies, and prejudices; and there intervenes between us and the truth a mist of ignorance, wilful or traditional, which involves the enquiry both in mystery and perplexity, and leaves us to find our way by the aid of the most uncertain elements, with the constant danger of most serious error.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical connections between India and the West, challenging the previously held notions of Indian isolation. The author masterfully combines historical analysis with linguistic evidence to trace the origins of Indian civilization to the Caucasus region. Through a meticulous examination of ancient Indian texts and genealogies, the book establishes a chronology for the establishment of royal lineages in India, aligning it with the development of other ancient civilizations in Egypt, China, and Assyria. The author presents a wealth of evidence suggesting that Scythian tribes from the west significantly influenced Indian culture and religion, leading to the emergence of prominent royal dynasties. This book offers a groundbreaking perspective on the interconnectedness of ancient civilizations and sheds new light on the origins and development of Indian history and culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
