Dear Alf,
Glad to be of help. There are several editions digitized by Hathi Trust. I can't wish you to enjoy them. They are depressingly bigoted.
All the best,
Rosane
Dear Rosane,
That is certainly it. Thanks much. Now I have to see how available it is.

Dear Alf,
You are probably thinking of William Ward's A View of the History, Literature and Religion of the Hindoos, Serampore: [Mission Press], several editions from 1817 on, with slight variations in title. Consistently derogatory comments on Hindu matters. Much quoted in his times.

Dear Colleagues, I am writing about Catholic and Protestant responses to Hindu sacrifice in the colonial period. Could anyone supply me withe Will Sweetman’s book, Reading Jesuits Reading Hinduism, and his book on Hinduism in the colonial period? I am also trying to recall a book I think by someone with the surname Ward which I recall as a pertinent diatribe agains Hindu sacrifices. Does anyone know it? For comparative purpose I am also interested to know of studies of Jain and Buddhist funerary practices in the colonial period. Please excuse the fishing trip sound of these requests. Anything about colonial period responses to Hindu polytheism generally would be most appreciated.
