SOME APPRECIATIONS OF THE EASTERN BUDDHIST.

“ The physical make-up of this magazine is delightful; it is beautifully printed on an excellent grade of paper, the typography is above reproach, and the g neral make-up is enhanced by a photogravure reproduction of ■Kwanuon Bosatsu of the Yumedono Sanctuary.’. . The edi or, Daisetz Tei- taro Suzuki, is to be congratulated on the publishing of a magazine which so worthily represents the Eastern Buddhist Society; we recommend it to American readers.”.... The Messenger.

“ Altogether, the first number is excellent, offers Teal contributions to our knowledge, and deserves all the success that we wish it in concluding these brief words of appreciation and welcome.”.... The Occult Review.

“ Il n’est pas de meilleure revue, pour les amis de la metaphysique aryenne que The Eastern Buddhist.”.... Le Voile D'Isis.

“ The Eastern Buddhist is very :bly edited and exists for the purpose of helping the English reading public to understand Buddhism. Foreigners can here at last find what so many have been in vain seeking ... a trustwor­thy presentation of advanced Buddhist thought both in its historical and metaphysica1 aspects.”.... AL Correspondent in Japan Chronicle.

“ The Eastern Buddhist is a great tribute to the International New Thought Alliance that this broadminded and scholarly periodical should have been sent to British Headquarters for recognition and appreciation. The magazine is indeed a magnificient bid for the inclusion of Japan in the great Spiritual Movement of today.”.... The Rally.

“ This new magazine, if it keeps up to the comparatively high level at­tained by its first number, ought to find a place on the table not only of the average missionary and "Western students of religion residing in Japan, Korea and China, but also in the libraries of Europe and America.”.... The Japan Advertiser.

“ It is an excellently written and finely printed journal, and I wish, it every success. .. .Both the scholarly value and the religious tone of the ar­ticles seem to be creditable to your new society.”.... Letter from a notid English Sanskrit scholar.
