Excerpt from Introduction to the Science of Chinese Religion: A Critique of Max Muller and Other AuthorsTm: work I present to the public does not need an excuse. The importance of the subject will be felt by all readers. That I, a practical missionary and a German, have ventured to undertake such a thing is owing to the great fault of so many able writers not having done it before. They, of course, could have given a very superior production, if they only had put their pens to the task. But, as it is, much is written on Chinese religion, on the religion of other nations and on religion in general, that betrays on every page a great want of clearness in method and somewhat con fused notions in regard to religion. I hope my little book will do some good service in this respect. The Science of Religion is very important indeed. More harm than good will, however, be done, if it is not.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
