A Description Of The Character, Manners, And Customs Of The People Of India And Of Their Institutions Religious And Civil

About the Book :-The spirit of justice and of prudence with which that nation rules the people of India who have become its subjects, and particularly the inviolable respect which she has constantly shewn for the customs and prejudices, civil and religious, which are inherent in every district and caste, together with the impartial protection which she extends alike to the feeble and the strong, to the Brahman and the Pariah, to the Christian, the Mohameddan and the Pagan; have more exalted her name and established her power in the east than even her victories and her extensive conquests. The wonderful revolution effected of late years for the advantage of the people of the south of the peninsula has not induced him to alter the original plan of his work, where he treated of them as living under the arbitrary government of their despotic princes. The facility of intercourse which the Europeans now enjoy with the different nations which people the peninsula of India, will no doubt soon afford us interesting details on the various subjects which do not fall within the scope of this work, and which indeed would require the labor of more than one author.
