REPORT presented to the ACADEMIE DES INSCRIPTIONS, May 11,
1883, by M. ERNEST RENAR.

“M. Renan présente trois nouveaux volumes de la grande collection des‘

“Livres sacrés de l’Orient” (Sacred Books of the East), que dirige & Oxford, avec une si vaste érudition et une critique si s(ire, le savant associé de l’Académie des Inscriptions, M. Max Miiller.... La premiére série de ce beau recueil, comosée de 24 volumes, est presque achevée.

. Max Miiller se propose d’en publier une seconde, dont l’intérét historique et religieux ne sera pas moindre. M. Max Miller a su se procurer la collaboration des savans les plus éminens d'Europe et d’Asie. L’Université d’Oxford, que cette grande publication honore au plus haut degré, doit tenir A continuer dans les plus larges proportions une ceuvre aussi philosophiquement congue que savamment exécatée.’

BXTRACT from the QUARTERLY REVIEW.

‘We rejoice to notice that a second series of these translations has been announced and has actually begun to appear. The stones, at least, out of which a stately * edifice may hereafter arise, are here being brought together. Prof. Max Miiller has deserved well of scientific history. Not a few minds owe to his enticing words their first attraction to this branch of study. But no work of his, not even the great edition of the Rig-Veda, can compare in importance or in usefulness with this English translation of the Sacred Books of the East, which has been devised by his foresight, successfully brought so far by his persuasive and organising power, and will, we trust, by the assistance of the distinguished scholars he has gathered round him, be carried in due time to a happy completion.’

Professor BE. HARDY, Inaugural Lecture in the University of Freiburg, 1887.

‘Die allgemeine vergleichende Religionswissenschaft datirt von jenem grossartigen, in seiner Art einzig dastehenden Unternehmen, zu welchem auf Anregung Max Miillers im Jahre 1874 auf dem internationalen Orientalistencongress in London der Grundstein gelegt worden war, die Ubersetzung der heiligen Biicher des Ostens’ (the Sacred Books of the East).

The Hon. ALBERT 8S. G. CANNING, ‘Words on Existing Religions.’

‘ The recent publication of the “Sacred
Books of the East” in English is surely

a great event in the annals of theological literature.’

FIRST SERIES.

von. 1. The Upanishads.

Translated by F. Max Miter. Part I. The A/*Aandogyaupanishad, The Talavakara-upanishad, The Aitareya-dranyaka, The Kaushftaki-brahmavza-upanishad, and The VAgasaneyisamhit4-upanishad. 8vo, cloth, ros. 6d.

The Upanishads contain the philosophy of the Veda. They have become the foundation of the later Vedanta doctrines, and indirectly of Buddhism. Schopenhauer, speaking of the Upanishads, says: ‘In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life, it will be the solace of my death.
