Overview

Excerpt from Annotations on the Sacred Writings of the Hind s: Being an Epitome of Some of the Most Remarkable and Leading Tenets in the Faith of That People, Illustrating Their Priapic Rites and Phallic Principles When we reflect upon certain peculiarities of the Religious Worship practised by the Hin dus; on its great antiquity, on the fact, that two thousand years before the Christian aera it was, as at the present day, in full force; that it witnessed the rise, decline and fall of the Idolatry of Egypt, and of the great Western Mythology of Greece and Rome; that hitherto it has scarcely yielded in the slightest degree to the adverse influence of the Mohammedan race on the one hand, or to European dictation on the other; and that it exercises, by its system of caste, a powerful control over the manners, customs.
