No part of a nation's history is more important than that of its religion. Of the religions of antiquity several that were flourishing have become extinct, for instance the faiths of Greece, Italy and Egypt. But in the East, Hinduism and Buddhism have been possessed of more stability. In fact, the past religions of Greece and Italy cannot be studied without frequent references to Hinduism. This book, first published in 1885, was aimed by the author to be sufficiently correct to satisfy the Orientalists and yet it is short and simple to attract the ordinary reader.

Two Old Faiths is a classic religious studies text by J. Murray Mitchell and Sir William Muir featuring essays on the religions of the Hindus and the Mohammedan. The place of Hinduism--which is professed by about a hundred and ninety millions in India--among the religions of the world, and its great antiquity, are pointed out. Among the religions of the earth Islam must take the precedence in the rapidity and force with which it spread.
