Letters, 1869-1900.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31997523

Letters addressed to and from Sir Edwin Arnold. In one letter (1894), Arnold discusses his work on "Astronomy and Religion," and also his translation from the Sanskit of "The Story of the Snake, or the Doctrine of Karma." A three page letter from Arnold to William T. Stead discusses Stead's researches into the supernatural as being possibly influential in diminishing mankind's dread of death which Arnold attributed to theology, and in helping scientists to be less bigoted. Also included is a letter (1892), from Arnold during a tour in the U. S. written in response to a proposal for him to write his impressions of America.
