We begin with the present number the publication of a short novel by Richard Garbe, entitled "The Redemption of the Brahman." The author is Professor of Sanskrit at the University of Konigsberg in Prussia. His works are very scholarly and most of them treat of the recondite subjects of ancient Indian rituals and Brahman philosophy. He has contributed an article on Hindu Monism to The Monist, which appeared in Volume 3, No. I. His "Indische Reiseskizzen" (Berlin: Paetel, 1889) is a popular work which made him known in Germany as a brilliant literary writer outside the pale of his science. Professor Garbe travelled through India during 1885 to 1887 as a commissioner of the Prussian Government, and he used this opportunity to make a special study of the Indian philosophical systems in Benares, the metropolis of Brahman wisdom. His relations to the native savants became more intimate than is usually the case between Europeans and Brahmans. Many observations of his are embodied in this little tale "The Redemption of the Brahman," which is not only a fascinating sketch of the religious life of the native Indians but also a picture of the aspirations which in exceptional cases prompt faithful believers among the Brahmans like so many Christians of Europe and America to outgrow the old rituals and ceremonies of a dogmatic and narrowly sectarian worship, and to widen into a cosmic religion of humanitarianism. - The Open Court , Volume 7
