About the Book:-It may be thought that the publication of these volumes is superfluous after the two works by noted scholars, and the Autobiography, written by Max Muller himself. But it seemed that something more was wanted to show the innermost character of the real man. The plan pursued throughout these volumes has been to let Max Muller's letters and the testimony of friends to his mind and character speak for themselves, whilst the whole is connected by a slight thread of necessary narrative. The selection from the letters has been made with a view to bring the man rather than the scholar before the world. This warm and personal biography of one of the biggest names in oriental scholarship, Max Muller, was compiled and edited by his daughter. Along with the obvious narration of all his public and academic milestones, this book gives a glimpse of the personal life of Max Muller. One surprising nugget of information that is derived by reading this book is that Max Muller never came to India. It contains portraits and few good illustrations. This book is in two volumes, and was first published in 1903.
