EDITORIAL NOTE
THE object of the Editors of this series is a very
definite one.
They desire above all
things that, in their humble way, these books
shall be the
ambassadors of goodwill and
understanding between East and West--the old
world of Thought and the new of Action. In
this
endeavour, and in their own sphere, they
are but followers of the highest example in the
land.
They are confident that a deeper knowledge of the great ideals and lofty philosophy
of Oriental thought may help to a revival of
that true spirit of Charity which neither despises
nor fears the nations of another creed and colour.
Finally, in thanking press and public for the
very cordial reception given to the "Wisdom of the East" Series, they wish to state that
no pains have been spared to secure the best
specialists
for
the
treatment
of
the
various
subjects at hand.
