A View of All Religions, and the Religious Ceremonies of All Nations at the Present Day


This book, a second edition published in 1824, provides a comparative overview of various religions and religious ceremonies worldwide. It is divided into four parts: Christianity, Judaism, Mahometanism, and Paganism. The section on Judaism estimates that there are two million Jews globally, with the majority residing in Poland, where they are noted as owning "most of the trading capital." The book includes contemporary lithographs depicting a Jewish marriage ceremony and a rabbi holding the Torah. The book also includes an abridgement of William Ward's work on Hinduism.
