Years ago these Lectures were delivered as the Readership Lectures of the Patna University. Their publication has been delayed for various circumstances over which I had no control. This is probably the first attempt to put together some of the most important strands of Indian idealistic thought within a small com-pass. I fear however that my success has been but a doubtful one. The field of Indian Idealism is very vast and defies any attempt at compression. The table of contents will, I hope, be found helpful in following the general argument of the different chapters. These Lectures are printed here more or less in the same form in which they were delivered. Conscious as I am of my shortcomings and defects, I feel that they would have been far greater had it not been for the help that was rendered me in reading the proofs of these Lectures by my esteemed friend Mr Haridas Bhattacharyya, M.A., P.R.S., of the University of Dacca. I am also grateful to my esteemed pupils, Dr Satkari Mukherjee, M.A., Ph.D., of the Calcutta University for the preparation of their contents, and to Mr Satindra Kumar Mukherjee, M.A., and Miss Surama Mitra, M.A., for the assistance I received from them, without which, in my present state of health, it would have been wellnigh impossible for me to see the book through the press.
