It is an undoubted fact that Buddhism found its way into Central and Eastern Asia, from Aryavarta (India); ages have elapsed since then; the almost insurmountable Physical barriers which separated India and Central Asia, and the want of intercourse and sympathy between these strange peoples and the Indians tended, in course of time, to obliterate the traces of the onward march of Buddhism from this country. The connecting link, missing to all appearance, nevertheless existed and was to be found in the Sacred Books of the Tibetans and the Chinese. The travels of Fa-Hian, Hieun Tshang, I-tsing and others in India in the 5 and the 7 centuries after Christ, well known to the historian, threw some light on this subject; but the labours of the Indian Pandits in the propagation of Buddhism in the North and the far East, have been hitherto buried in Oblivion, and it has been the earnest endeavour of our author to unearth them. He has simply broken the ice, and it is to be hoped that the information which he has brought to light will draw the attention of the public to this important subject, and induce Men with greater resources at their command, to pursue these researches, and increase our Knowledge of the origin and spread of a religion.
