THE following sheets contain some remarks in reply to a publication which appeared in the " Madras Courier" of November last, under the signature of Sankara Sastri, in answer to my abridgment of the Vedant and my Preface to the translation of the Ishopanishad, as well as to my Introduction to the Kenopanishad. The length to which the arguments of the controvertist extended having precluded their appearance in the Calcutta prints, I have taken the liberty of reprinting them along with my own observations on them, in order that the discussion may be brought fully before the public* to whose decision the merits of the question must now be left.
