The Jaina Gazette:-The author has never throughout the book, for a moment, wavered in his fidelity to reason. The book is indicative of the spirit which is animating all great minds of the world today. They are all mightily trying to knit humanity in clear bonds of true brotherhood.

Foreword The series of lectures now in the reader's hand is the outcome of many years' patient and persistent study of the causes of diversity and difference among the prevailing religions of the world. In presenting them to the enquiring public I have to announce the momentous discovery of a secret language or script that will revolutionize religious belief and change the very complexion of thought. It has, indeed, been long surmised that the divinities setup in at least certain of the Bibles of the world are purely allegorical in nature; but the true import and significancy of the various allegories have remained a profound secret thus for. It is true that scholars have generally sought to identify these divine personifications with certain physical forces and phenomena, e.g., clouds, rain, spirit of vegetation, fire and the like; but the supposition does not satisfy the prying intellect and has failed to command general acquiescence which it should have done if true. Yet it is obvious from the number and nature of the discrepancies alone that are to be found in them that the scriptures of the world could not have been and were not intended to be read historically. The discovery that has now been made will show that the Vedas, the Qur'an, the Zend Avesta and, indeed, all other ancient mythological scriptures are composed in one single language notwithstanding the outward diversity of the alphabets and tongues in which they are couched. We may call this secret language Pectoris, to distinguish it from Prakrit, the people's tongue, and from Sanskrit, the language of the learned.
