The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali are in themselves exceedingly brief, less than ten pages of large type in the original. Yet they contain the essence of practical wisdom, set forth in admirable order and detail. The theme, if the present interpreter be right, is the great regeneration, the birth of the spiritual from the psychical man: the same theme which Paul so wisely and eloquently set forth in writing to his disciples in Corinth, the theme of all mystics in all lands.

Ballantyne and Sastri Deva's co-translation interested me as it was one of the first English translations of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali (serialized in the 1850's, I think) and it had the complete Sanskrit text at the back. Additionally, several renowned scholars of yoga (ex. Woods and Eliade) cited Ballantyne's work, which I took as commendations.
I bought the 3rd edition printed in 1955 and I hope the text is identical to the original, but this requires more investigation. The English is dated and the translations are more opaque than say Feuerstein, Iyengar or Miller, but it provides an excellent insight into the evolution of the modern English-language interpretation of the Yoga Sutras. It is wonderful to see the sutras printed in unbroken Sanksrit. The book itself is aesthetically pleasing and the paper is a lighter gauge than I'm used to. The ink of the Sanskrit text at the back is raised slightly off the page, so I can feel each character with my fingertip. It's a great sensory experience.
