Book Description

Excerpt from A History of Education in Ancient India The general outline of the book was first worked out in class-room lectures. It has subsequently developed into the present work. The subject-matter of the book is so complex that I feel it should have been undertaken by abler hands. The main object of this publication is to meet the demand for a small Hand-book that will give a clear and systematic account of the ideal and the system of education in ancient India, and also to remove some grave misapprehension that seems to exist about the Hindu ideals of education in the minds of some eminent foreign writers. Dr. Graves of the Ohio State University following Mr. Davidson remarks that "despite all the Hindu's fineness of intellect and his idealistic religion, India seems typically 'barbarian'". It is really unfortunate that such a remark should have come from such a man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
