PROF. MAX MULLER, in [[italics]] The (London) Times [[/italics]], of Aug. 23d, 1887, says:-"Ramabai, in her letter to me written in excellent Sanskrit, and in a book which she has just published in equally excellent English at Philadelphia ('The High-Cast Hindoo Woman'), speaks of several cases as bad as, if not worse then, Rukhmabai's case."

"This volume is published to aid the fund for founding a school for the training of young Hindu widows, and is the brave venture of a brave woman; it is as sound, sensible and engaging as it is true-hearted."
-[[italics]] The Independent [[/italics]], New York, July 28th.

"The book is remarkable for the condensation and picturesqueness by which the reader gets a comprehensive view of a great country still suffering under its ancient wrongs."
-[[italics]] Public Ledger[[/italics]], Phila., July 13th.

"A high-cast Hindu woman, now a Christian, publishes in Philadelphia, in English of remarkable beauty, an account of the enthralment of her sisters in India.

"This dainty volume is both a heart-break and a joy. ....It tells of women whose only and unpardonable crime is having been born at all."-MISS FRANCES E. WILLARD, in the [[italics]] Union Signal [[/italics]], Chicago, July 21st.

"The book is very interesting, especially to philanthropists and to students of religious and social phenomena."
-[[italics]] The Critic [[/italics]], New York, July 16th.

"These pages reveal fully the heart of Ramabai."-MRS. CAROLINE H. DALL, in [[italics]] The Christian Register [[/italics]], Boston, June 30th.

"It is hard to image in a book that should possess, for the women of enlightened countries, a keener interest than 'The High-Caste Hindu Woman.'"
-[[italics]] Providence (R. I.) Journal [[/italics]], August 21st.

"This Hindu woman's story is the outline of a colossal tragedy."-[[italics]] Cincinnati Commercial Gazette [[/italics]], Sept 3d, 1887.
