		Rhys Davids' works should be viewed against the background of the prevailing English books on Buddhism written by missionaries like Spence Hardy and officials like Emerson Tennent which were based on comparatively recent Sinhala manuscripts and not on the Pali Cannon and were also given to theological prejudices.
		Under Rhys Davids and his equally eminent wife and helpmate, Caroline, the PTS grew in strength; its finances were stabilised and its output was prolific.
		Rhys Davids was appalled at the dismal state of Oriental learning in England due to the fact that higher education was often funded by private benefactors according to whose wishes the funds had to be administered.

	Was the Buddha the First Humanist
		Rhys Davids described how the great religious reform movement that had shaken northern India during the sixth century BCE moved about a millennium later into Southeast Asia -- as the Hinayana (Little Vehicle) -- and was subsequently able to retain its original form for several centuries.
		Rhys Davids contended that, because of this history, the authentic ideas of Buddhism are to be found only in the sacred Canons of the Pitaka of the Hinayana branch confined chiefly to Sri Lanka, Thailand and Myanmar, and in the scholarly commentary devoted to these: the whole of which is known as the Pali Literature.
		Rhys Davids carefully documented her claim that it is the Norm (comprising Dhamma and Abhidhamma), which defines the Buddha's original worldview: a frame of reference within which all other Buddhist concepts must be comprehended.

		Rhys Davids on the other hand was essentially a scholar and the aim of his intellectual exercise was to make the Western world aware of Buddhism and its civilising influence.
		Rhys David's early education was at the Brighton School which was situated close to his home and run by his uncle Robert Winter.
		Rhys Davids undoubtedly inherited the academic inclinations of his parents, yet motherless at a tender age and lacking in family fortunes he realised that he had to rely on his own sweat and toil.

	Mrs. Rhys Davids' Dialogue with Psychology (1893-1924)
		Rhys Davids realized in her work of translation that technical psychological terms--on the English as well as on the Paali side--are part of a system with certain assumptions about the nature of mind.
		Rhys Davids dug into British psychological works to ascertain as far as possible the exact connotations of such terms as "cognition," "sensation," "feeling," "perception," and "faculties."[6] Many footnotes and entire articles were concerned with working out the closest equivalents for such terms as "vi~n~naana," "indriya," "aayatana," "upaadaana," and the like.
		Rhys Davids called attention to this problem---common to Buddhism and to nineteenth- and twentieth-century psychology--of distinguishing between a metaphysical concept of the soul and a functional phenomenological one.

		Davids, objects to the idea of "prayer offered to Buddha" and speaks of it as an impossibility.
		Here, again, the Christian idea of "prayer to a personal and living God" has interfered with the conception of other prayer than this prayer in the sense of inspiration in worship.

		Eighteen years after Spence Hardy had published his Manual of Buddhism [sic], mainly a translation from late Sinhalese sources, the society for promoting Christian knowledge published, as the first of their non-Christian religious systems, a Manual of Buddhism by Rhys Davids.
		This was fifty-four years ago, and the book has been reprinted twenty-three times and yet lives.
		It has wrought a most useful work, first, by diffusing knowledge about the history of a great and long-lived institution; secondly, by at least checking, in its historical sobriety, the growth of erratic impulses, arising out of a very little learning about that institution and materializing in much well-meant but misleading assertion.
