Abstract
ALL those who are interested in Indian philosophy, and especially the readers of the first two volumes of this excellent standard and scholarly work, will welcome the publication of the third volume as well as the news that the manuscript of the fourth volume is ready. Prof. Dasgupta's remarkable exposition of Indian thought brings home to philosophers that the history of their subject is incompletely assessed and understood without a general knowledge at least of Eastern thought. The difficulty of perusing manuscripts in Sanskrit and other old tongues of the Dekkan Peninsula is minimized by the painstaking and judicious study carried out by Prof. Dasgupta, and the results of which are given in his great work.
