THE PARSEE RELIGION BY DADABHAI NAOROJI

READ AT THE LIVERPOOL LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL IN MARCH 18TH 1861.

LIKE a soldier suddenly called to perform his movements before a body of veteran officers, after having given up his military habits for several years, I feel embarrassed and awkward on being required to read a paper before a learned society such as this, after having been, for the past six years, unused to the habits of thought, reading, and composition, necessary for such a task. I have endeavored, however, to do what I could, under the circumstances, and as far as my limited leisure permitted.
