Opis: A Dialogue of the Knowledge of the Supreme Lord - Author Unknown

Excerpt from A Dialogue of the Knowledge of the Supreme Lord: In Which Are Compared the Claims Christianity and Hinduism, and Various Questions of Indian Religion and Literature Fairly Discussed

You have often asked me to give you a fuller account of the conversation which I once heard at Conjeveram between two Englishmen and some learned Hindus, who disputed about the true knowledge of the Supreme Being. I am better prepared to do so now, from having written down, as far as my memory enabled me, the longer among the speeches, with the names of the speakers opposite them; some parts, however, I have only filled up roughly; nor can I tell you precisely how the dialogue arose, since it appeared to have gone some way when I first ventured to become a silent listener. Some extraordinary circumstance must have brought together so many men remarkable, each in his particular kind. There were two natives of Great Britain, both of whom I imagine must have been priests; but one was much the more venerable of the two, and when he spoke, his language had a tone of calm authority. His name was said to be Mountain. His companion, who was called Blancombe, treated him with great deference, and seemed glad to learn from him; but he himself, the younger I mean, was more skilful in arguing, and undertook the greater part of the dialogue.
