Book Description

Excerpt from Lights and Shades of the East: Or a Study of the Life of Baboo Harrischander; And Passing Thoughts on India and Its People, Their Present and Future Many of the following pages have already been read before the public and received the stamp of approbation, as affording a series of sketches calculated to give instruction and encouragement to the Indian Youth. What were delivered in the shape of desultory Lectures, together with the addition of hitherto undelivered sketches, having been put in a collected form and sent the round of some half-a-dozen English scholars (among whom may be named the kind and learned Rev. Drs. Wilson, Mitchell, Fraser, and G -, and K -, as particularly affording encouragement), the Author ventures to put them forth in the form of the present volume, with fear and trembling.
