About This Book

A collection of essays and public lectures advocates for comparative philology as a rigorous academic discipline and for broader institutional support for Oriental studies. It presents technical analyses of sound change, accent, and grammatical correspondences, drawing on Sanskrit, Greek, and related languages to illuminate historical morphology and etymology. Several essays trace the cultural transmission of stories and texts, exploring how fables and translations migrate across linguistic boundaries. Religious and missionary topics are considered through reflections on Buddhism, Hindu reform movements, and the relevance of eastern literatures to theological study. The volume also includes a biographical essay on an early scholar and polemical responses to contemporary scientific critics.

The Index of the published book covered Volumes III and IV. For this e-text it is given in two separate forms. The first contains only references to Volume IV; the second is complete as published. In addition, each separate file has an index for that file only. All links lead to the top of the page, except that references to footnotes (“note”) in Volume IV lead to the individual note.

Because of the author’s transliteration system, many Sanskrit words in c (च) and j (ज) will be alphabetized as k and g.

Spelling and capitalization of verb roots from the Colebrooke appendix has been regularized. The original forms are noted like this or this, depending on whether the printed text is wrong or simply different.
