he refuses to co-operate with me in opposing Unitaria-
nism, although he declares in his note to me that it is a
system of damnable heresy proceeding from the Devil.

May 7, 1823. Ram Doss.
Dr. TYTLER'S REPLY TO RAM DOSS.
To the Editor of the Bengal Hurkaru.
Sir,
As I do not intend this letter to have any direct refer-
ence to the subject of religious discussion, you will oblige
me by giving it insertion into the columns of the Hurkaru.
Two days ago I received an Epistle subscribed Ram
Doss, which I was led to conclude must have been
written by some Unitarian under a pseudonymous sig-
nature. But it appears from a letter, which is published
in your paper of this day, I may have been mistaken ;
and I am, therefore, anxious to inform Ram Doss, if he
be a real person, that I consider there is no book at pre-
sent in possession of Hindus,—the Mahabharata and
Ramayuna not excepted,—of higher antiquity than the
entrance of the Musulmans into India,—say about 800
years from the present period. The legends attached to
the Avatars are merely perverted, and corrupted copies
of the Holy Scriptures in the possession of Christians,
and have no particular relation to the ancient religion,
whatever it may have been, of the inhabitants of this
country. Should Ram Doss therefore be a real person,
and wish to obtain information on those, topics, it will
nism, although he declares in his note to me that it is a
system of damnable heresy proceeding from the Devil.
