Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hindu Manners, Customs and Ceremonies The fact that a third reprint of this complete edition of the Abbe Dubois' Hindu Manners, Customs, and Ceremonies has been called for within a period of a few years is sufficient proof of the high value which is still attached to the Abbe's observations and of the wide popularity which his work still enjoys. It was stated in my Preface to the first edition: - 'The impression may be felt in many minds that a book written so long ago can be of little practical use at present; but the fact is that the Abbe's work, composed as it was in the midst of the people themselves, is of unique character, for it combines, as no other work on the Hindus religion and Hindu sociology with many masterly descriptions, at once comprehensive and minute, of the vie intime of the people among whom he lived for so many years. With any other people among than the Hindus such a work would soon grow out of date; but with them the same ancestral traditions and customs are followed nowadays that were followed hundreds of years ago, at least by the vast majority of the population.' Not only in India but also in the United Kingdom and the Colonies, as well as in several countries of Europe and in the United States of America, reviews and notices of the work have appeared, bearing invariable testimony to conspicuous merits of the Abbe's work.
