The Buddhist Catechism
I have gone over the thirty-third (english) edition of the Catechism, with the help of interpreters, and confirm my recommendation for its use in Buddhist schools; the popularity of this little work is proved by the constant demand for new editions, in English and other languages. In looking over the matter for the present edition, I have found very little to change or to add, for the work seems to present a very fair idea of the contents of Southern Buddhism and, as my object is never to write an extended essay on the subject, I resist the temptation to wander off into amplifications of details which, however interesting to the student of comparative religion, are useless in a rational scheme of elementary instruction.
