Abstract
There are few things which I so truly regret having missed as the great Parliament of Religions held in Chicago as a part of the Columbian Exhibition in 1893.2 Who would have thought that what was announced as simply an auxiliary branch of that exhibition could have developed into what it was, could have become the most important part of that immense undertaking, could have become the greatest success of the year, and I do not hesitate to say, could now take its place as one of the most memorable events in the history of the world?
Substance of a Lecture delivered in Oxford in 1894.
