Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first part of Ten Great Religions was published in 1871. The success it has met with is probably due to the fact that it contains in a compendium an account of the principal religions of the world, sufficiently full for the wants of those who are not Special students of this subject. There exist many works on the separate religions, much more thorough, and which enter into a greater detail. But I suppose it would be dith cult, even now, to find the chief facts in relation to all of them brought together elsewhere in a single volume.
