Sinopsis
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1845. Excerpt: ... THE CALCUTTA REVIEW. Art. L--1. Miscellaneous East India Papers, ordered by the House of Commons, 1813. 2. Report from the Select Committee of the House of Commons on the affairs of the East India Company, with Appendices, 1832. 3. HolwelVs Historical Events, Parts II and III. 4. The Despatches, Sfc. of the Marquess Wellesley, Vol. II. 1837. '5. Institutes of Manu, translated by Sir William Jones. New Edition. The subject of native education is one, which, from its preeminent importance, it is our purpose successively to discuss in its varied bearings and relationships. The present series of papers may, therefore, be considered as altogether of a preparatory character. When the philanthropist casts his eye over the vast realm now subjected to British sway, he cannot but be deeply affected at the degraded and prostrate condition of its teeming inhabitants. As various measures for their amelioration present themselves to his view, he cannot but reflect, that, as intelligence and virtue have ever proved the grand conservative principles of society, so must the impartation of superior intelligence and moral virtue alone be fraught with restorative energy, in the case of a society that has practically slidden away from the dominion of both. Good Government and good laws will doubtless ever prove most powerful, if not indispensable, auxiliaries. But, what can such government and laws avail, when the great masses of the people, from lack of intelligence, are unable to appreciate their excellence, and from a destitution of virtue, are equally disinclined to a willing and cheerful obedience? Education, therefore, a sound, wholesome, and well regulated education--as the mightiest instrument of intelligence and virtue,--soon forces itself on the meditative spirit, a...
