now nearly ten years since there was published, under the title of The Web of Indian Life, a book which immediately found its appropriate public.

In England and America it was recognised as belonging to that newer and finer type of interpretation as applied to the East of which our time has produced some noteworthy examples; in India it was welcomed as almost the first attempt on the part of an English writer to present the ethical and social ideals embodied in the Indian woman and family.

Two years ago she died, with her work in India, as it seemed to those who knew her best and had most reason to hope greatly, hardly more than envisaged and planned.

Never do we find an identical strength and weakness repeated: and always if we go deep enough, we can discover in the circumstances and habits of a country, a cause for its specific difference of thought or of expression.

Hindu Dharma Ke Mool Tattvaहिंदू धर्म और संस्कृति का महत्त्वपूर्ण लक्षण सर्वाधिक परिपूर्ण विचार; जो संसार ने कभी उत्पन्न किया। सन् 1893 में शिकागो धर्म-संसद् में अग्रणी संत विवेकानंद के विचारों से प्रेरित सिस्टर निवेदिता ने हिंदू धर्म और संस्कृति का जिस तरह से विश्लेषण किया; उसे समझा और निरूपित किया; उसे यहाँ इस पुस्तक में रोचक शैली में इतने प्रभावी ढंग से प्रस्तुत किया गया है; कि सदी गुजर जाने के बाद भी इससे प्रेरणा मिलती है; यह जनमानस को झकझोर देती है। आज भी कोई दूसरा इन ऊँचाइयों को नहीं छू पाया है।
