"[T]he Philosophical Results attained in this volume stand as the persuasions of years of much research, and of a great amount of thought."
Jennings's study focuses heavily on Buddhism but also includes sections devoted to Brahmanism, Hinduism, fire worship, so-called "dream-conditions," methods of "instituting a communication between the Seen and the Unseen," serpent iconography in various religions, and more. The scarce first edition was privately printed in 1858.
