""An Answer to the Abbe Dubois"" is a book written by Henry Townley and published in 1824. The book is a response to the writings of the Abbe Dubois, a French missionary who spent many years in India. Dubois had written extensively about the customs and religions of the Indian people, and had been critical of many aspects of their culture. Townley, who had also spent time in India, disagreed with Dubois' assessments and wrote this book to refute his arguments. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which addresses a different aspect of Dubois' writings. Townley argues that Dubois' descriptions of Indian customs and beliefs are often inaccurate or misleading, and that he fails to understand the complexities of Indian culture. He also criticizes Dubois for his condescending attitude towards the Indian people, and for his attempts to convert them to Christianity. Throughout the book, Townley draws on his own experiences in India to support his arguments. He provides detailed descriptions of Indian customs and beliefs, and argues that they are often misunderstood by Westerners like Dubois. He also defends the Indian people against Dubois' criticisms, and argues that they are capable of governing themselves without the intervention of Western powers. Overall, ""An Answer to the Abbe Dubois"" is a passionate defense of Indian culture and a critique of Western attitudes towards it. It is an important work in the history of colonialism and the study of non-Western cultures, and remains relevant today as a reminder of the dangers of cultural imperialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
