This book, first published in 1975, is a comprehensive list of all the books on India, written in English before 1900. It is an invaluable reference source on India of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Apart from the work of professional writers, there are the writings of a cross-section of society from soldiers to scientists. We find dictionaries of obscure dialects written by government officials, descriptions of their travels by visiting clerics, homely details of everyday life by housewives, as well as technical and scientific works written by scholars.

In 'An Analysis of Religious Belief' by John Russell viscount Amberley, the reader delves into a critical examination of religious beliefs with a meticulous literary style that combines scholarly research and insightful analysis. Written in the late 19th century, the book provides a historical and philosophical context for understanding the evolution of religious thought and its impact on society. Amberley's comprehensive exploration goes beyond simple criticism, offering a thought-provoking perspective on the role of religion in shaping human behavior and culture. His rational approach challenges conventional wisdom and encourages readers to engage in self-reflection on their own beliefs and values. John Russell viscount Amberley, a prominent social reformer and philosopher, was known for his progressive views on various societal issues, including religion. His deep understanding of theology and philosophy informs his writing, making 'An Analysis of Religious Belief' a compelling blend of intellectual rigor and social commentary. I highly recommend this book to readers interested in thought-provoking analysis of religious belief and its implications on human society.
