About the book:- “Jainism,” says Monsieur A. Barth, “is one of the least known amongst those (religions) which have performed an important part in the past of India. Jainism, like its great rival Buddhism, seems to have taken its rise in the sixth century before Christ, an age in which religious speculation was rife in many parts of the world. In India the Joyous childlike faith reflected in the earlier Vedas had been stified under priestly domination; “ the Aryan Holy land was parcelled out among a number of petty chieftains, who waged internecine war one against another; the climate, then as now exerted its depressing influence on all beneath its sway, and the consequest pessimism is reflected in the philosophies of the times.

These notes on Jainism have been compiled mainly from information supplied to me by Gujarati speaking Jaina, so it has seemed advisable to use the Gujarati forms of their technical terms.
