Oriental scholars, and less understood by the general public. Out of the millions of believers of this faith in the by gone ages, there now remains a handful of devout followers, known as the Parsis. I have, there fore, ventured to put before my readers a brief sketch of the teachings of this divine prophet. I hope, that the strangers to the faith may find in it food for philosophic enlightenment, and the Zoroastrians themselves a subject for deeper and wider researches in the untold wealth of sublime theology and philosophy, now locked up in the monumental tomes of the ancient A vesta writings. It was with great diffidence that I ventured to place a little volume on such a subject as Zoroastrianism before the public, but the encourage ment I received in the past emboldens me to produce a second edition, to which I have added a few important considerations.
