Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Asiatic Studies, Religious and Social
The single volume of Asiatic Studies published in 1882 has been for some years out of print. In preparing a fresh edition, with some necessary revision, I have thought it might be worth while to add a second volume contain ing a few selected essays and dissertations, chie?y on the subject of Asiatic religions, that have been written by me at different times in recent years. In order to bring together two essays upon the same subject - the relations of the State with Religion in China - I have transferred to this new volume chap. V. Of the original Studies.
