{{Style S-Small capitals|The}} important and learned work, the author of which was lately the President of the Spanish Spiritualist Society, deals with many of the highest anthropological and Spiritual subjects. Much of the work is devoted to the correlation of the doctrines of the Brahmans with those of the modern Catholic Church. Thus the Brahmanic legends of Adima and Heva are associated with those of the Mosaic creation; the diluvial legend is found in the Vedas; the stories of Abraham, Moses, and much of the legend of the history of the Jewish temple are found to bear close analogies to the records found in Sanskrit writings. Of course, as Mr. Beal has very well pointed out, the difficulty is to ascertain whether the Jews copied from the Eastern writings, or whether the descendants of Nestorians conveyed to Persia and Thibet somewhat of the traditions of Christianity. The Thibetan sculptures of Buddha (if we may suppose them genuine) which Professor Leitner brought from Thibet, seem to prove the second theory, and we can see little in the assumed analogies between these religions which might not be the result of an imperfect remembrance of Christian writings. | {{Style S-Small capitals|The}} important and learned work, the author of which was lately the President of the Spanish Spiritualist Society, deals with many of the highest anthropological and Spiritual subjects.
