A collection of 8 essays by some of the biggest names in Indology, on various points of Buddhism. Max Muller has written the first 5 essays, and they are titled 1) Buddhism and Buddha, 2) Buddhist Pilgrims, 3) Meaning of Nirvana, 4) Buddhist Nihilisms, and 5) Christianity and Buddhism. Essay 6 is by Monier William’s and is called Buddhism and Jainism, essay 7 by Reginold Stephens and is called Buddhism in Ceylon and the last, called the whole duty of the Buddhist layman is written by Robert C Childers. This book is a reprint of the 1888 edition.

Friedrich Max Müller was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, who lived and studied in Britain for most of his life. He was one of the founders of the western academic disciplines of Indian studies and religious studies. He wrote both scholarly and popular works on the subject of Indology. The Sacred Books of the East, a 50-volume set of English translations, was prepared under his direction. He also promoted the idea of a Turanian family of languages. Müller was appointed deputy Taylorian professor of modern European languages at Oxford University. He was defeated in the 1860 election for the Boden Professor of Sanskrit, which was a "keen disappointment" to him. He was far better qualified for the post than the other candidate (Monier Monier-Williams), but his broad theological views, his Lutheranism, his German birth and lack of practical first-hand knowledge of India told against him. After the election he wrote to his mother, "all the best people voted for me, the Professors almost unanimously, but the vulgus profanum made the majority".
