Synopsis Vedantasara the text-book here employed, an English translation published by Dr. Roer, in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal for 1845.  The advantage of referring to this version has not been neglected; but  a much more lucid style of exposition being required for the class of youths for whom the present version was prepared, not scruple has been felt in departing from the phraseology, etc., of any who have written before on the Vedanta, wherever such departure appeared advisable.  That this exposition of the most abstruse of the Hindu systems should be faultless, is very far from probable.  It bringing it-at it now stands-before the senior English students, and the class of pandits, in the Banares College, who have for some time been studying English, the intention includes its being submitted to a searching criticism, so that any errors entertained in regard to the system, by Europeans, may have the better chance of being discovered and rectified.  Now Vedantasara is first time text with Hindi and English translation.
