DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Popular Religion and Folk-Lore of Northern India, Vol. 1 of 2 The success of this book has been much beyond my expectations. That a considerable edition has been exhausted within a few months after publication proves that it meets a want. I have now practically re-written the book, and have taken the opportunity of introducing a considerable amount of fresh information collected in the course of the Ethnographical Survey of the North-Western Provinces, the results of which will be separately published. For the illustrations, which now appear for the first time, I am indebted to the photographic skill of Mr. J. O'Neal, of the Thomason Engineering College, Rurki. I could have wished that they could have been drawn from a wider area. But Hardwar and its shrines are very fairly representative of popular Hinduism in Northern India. Many books have been written on Brâhmanism, or the official religion of the Hindu; but, as far as I am aware, this is the first attempt to bring together some of the information available on the popular beliefs of the races of Upper India. My object in writing this book has been threefold. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
