In the

spring of 1882 there came the welcome intelligence that more than seventy of the most important of the members of
the Buddhist Order in Ceylon had shown their appreciation of the work, and their trust in its promoters, by subscribing in advance to the cost of the printing. It is no slight thing that an established clergy should have come forward so
readily to support the publication of the sacred books of their religion in an alien alphabet and by scholars of an alien faith. need not perhaps be surprised that so

documents on one of the most important and interesting Part of the result will be, on chapters in human history. the one hand among the Buddhists themselves, to encourage throughout the East the study of their ancient literature, and thus to insure and to popularize an accurate acquaintance with the primitive forms of their venerable faith and on the other hand here in the West, to provide the bricks
out of which historical works can be built up to enlighten us on the deeper feelings of that larger half of the world of

some points of

its

development

to our

origin and in the whole course of its own, will do much to enlarge their

sympathies, and to aid them in forming a correct estimate of the real meaning and value of not a few details in their

own

inherited beliefs ?
