The following extracts from Mr. Alfred Webb's valuable co!lection, if the testimony given therein be true, show that the ancient Indian civilisation has little to learn from the modern:-

Victor Cousin.

(1792-1867). Founder of Systematic Eclecticism in Philosophy, · " On the other hand when we read with atten­ tion the poetical and philosophical movements or t·he Ea&t, above all, those of India., which are beginning to spread in Europe, we discover there so many truths, and· truths so profound, and which make such a contrast whh the meanness of the results at which the European genius has sometimes stopped, that we are constrained to bend the knee before that of the East, and to see in this cradle of the human race the,. native land of the highest philosophy." APPENDICES iii

J. Seymour Keay, M. P. Banker in India and India Agent. (Writing in 1888) " It cannot be too well understood that our 'Position in India has never been in any degree that . of civilians bringing civilisation to savage races. When we landed in India we found there a hoary civilisation, which, during the llrogress of thousands of years, had :Bitted itself into the character and ad· jus ted itself to the wants of highly intellectual races. Tne civilisation, was not perfunctory, but uni­ versal and all-pervading-furnishing the country not only with poliLical systems, but with social and. -domestic institutions of the most ramified deecrip­ tion. The beneficent naturi of tht:-se institutions as a whole may be judged of from their effects on the character of the Hindu race. P~rhaps there are no. other people in the world who show so much in their characters the advam~.geous effects of their own civilisation. They are shrewd in business, acute in reasoning, thrifty, religious, sober, charit­ aolt·, obedient to parents, reverential to old age, a.mia.ble, la.w·abidiug, compass1onata towards the helpless, and patient under suffering.'' Friedrich Max Muelier, LL. D.

"If I were to ask myself from Vi hal Lte1a~ure we here in Europe, we who have been nurtured al­ ·most exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and APPENDIO.ES

Romans, and of one Semetic race, the Jewish may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfec,, more compre­ hensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life-again I should point to India." Colonel Thomas Munro. Thirtu-two years' sert~ice in. India. "If a good .system of agriculture, unrivalled' manufacturing skill, a capacity to produce whatever can contribute to convenience or luxury ; schools established in every village, for teaching, reading, writing and arithmetic; the general practice of' hospitality and charity among each other; and, above all, a treatment of the female sex, full of confidence. respect and delicacy, are among the signs which denote a civilised people, then the Hindus are not inferior to the nations of Europe; and if civilisation is to become an article of trade between the \wo countries, I am convinced that this ·country [Eng­ larid] will gain by the import cargo." •Frederick von Schlegel. "H cannot be denied that the early Indians poa-· sessed a knowledge of the true God ; all their writ. ings a.re replete with sentiments and expressions, noble, clear, and severely grand, as deeply conceived . and reverently expressed as in any human languag& APPENDICES v in which men have spoken of their God ...... Among nations possessing indigenous philosophy and metaphysics, together with an innate relish for these pursuits, such as at present characterises Ger~ many; and, }n olden times, was the proud distinction of Greece, Hindastan holds the first rank in point of time." Sir , Bart; "Th~ Indian village has thus for centuries re. , mained a bul-wark aga.inS't political disorder, and the home of the simple domestic and social virtues. No wonder, lh~refore, that philosophers and historians have always dwelt lovingly on this ancient institu­ tion which is the natural social unit and the bes* type of rural life; self-contained, industrious, pe.ice­ loving, conservative in the best sense of the word • . . . .. • 1 think you will agree with me that there is much that is both picturesque and attractive in this glimpse of social and domestic life in an Indian vil­ lage. It is a harmless and happy form of human ex­ istence. Moreover, i' is nol without good practical ou\come." J. Youn4. Secretllrfl, Sauo11 M~ha.J&ica' I~~o.tatadu. (Wit hi" re.:ent f/Mra.) .. Those races, (the Indian viewed from 1 moral e.spect], are perhaps the moa&~ remarkable people in .&b.e world. They breath an atmosphere of moral vi APPE~DICES purity, which cannot but excite admiration, and thi~J. is especially the cas~ with the poorer classes, who,. notwithstanding the privations of their bumble Jot,. appear to be happy and contented. True children of. nature, they live on from day to day, taking no. tbougM of to-ruorrow and thankful for the simple fare­ which Providence has provided for them. It is curi­ ous to witness the spectacle of coolies of both sexes returning no.me at night-fall after a hard day's work often lasting from sunrise to sunset. In spite of fa­ tigue from the effects of the unremitting toil, they are, for the most part,gay and animated, conversing cheerfully tc:getber and occasionally breaking into snatches of light-hearted song. Yet what awaits them on their return to the hovels which they call home? Adish of rice for food, and the floor fora bed. Domestic felicity appears to be the rule among the Natives, and this is the more strange when the cus­ toms of marriage are taken into account, parents arranging all such matters. Many Indian households affurd example~ of the married state in its highest degree of perfection. This may be due to the teachings of the Sha.stras, and to the strict injunc· *ions which they inculcate with regard to marital obligation; but it is no exaggeration to say that husbands are generally devotedly attached to their wins, and in many instances the latter have the tnost exalted conception of their duties towards their husbands." .lPPENDICBS vii.

lbbe J. A. Dubois. Miuionar11 in. M-vsore, Extract• from letter dated

Seringapatam, 15th Decem~er, 1820. ·

u The authority married women within their· houses is chiefly exerted in preserving good order­ and peace among the persons who compose their· families; and a great many among them discharge this important duty with a. prudence and a discre· tion which have scarcely a parallel in Europe. I have known families composed of between thirty and forty persons, or more, consisting of grown up sons and daughters, all married and all having chil-­ dren, living together under the superintendence of an old matron-their mother or mother-in-law. The latter, by good management, and by accom· moda.ting herself to the temper of the daughters-in­ law, be using, according to circumstances, firmness or forbearance, succeeded in preserving peace and harmony durin~ many yea.rs amongst so many females, who had all jarriog interests, and still more jarring tempers. I ask you whether it would be possible to attain the same end, in the aame circum­ stances, in our countries, where it is scarcely possible to make two wow en living under the same roof to agree together. •· In fact, there is perhaps no kind of honest employment in a. civilised country in which the Hindu fet:~a.les have not a due share. Besides the- --viii APPENDICES

management of the household, and the care of the family, which (as already noticed) under their con· trol the wives and daughters ot husbandmen attend and assis't their husbands and fathers in the labours of agriculture. Those of tradesmen assist theirs in carrying on their trade. Merchants are attended and assisted by theirs in their shops. Many females are shopkeepers on their own account; and without a knoiDledqe of the alphabet or of the decimal scale, they keep by ~ther means their accounts in excellent -order, and are consider~d as still shrewder than the males themselves in their commercial dealings.''
