Sinopsis
Excerpt from India; What Can It Teach: A Course of Lectures, Delivered Before the University of Cambridge
My dear Cowell,
As these Lectures would never have been written or delivered but for your hearty encouragement, I hope you will now allow me to dedicate them to you, not only as a token of my sincere admiration of your great achievements as an Oriental scholar, but also as a memorial of our friendship, now more than thirty years old, a friendship which has grown from year to year, has weathered many a storm, and will last, I trust, for what to both of us may remain of our short passage from shore to shore.
I must add, however, that in dedicating these Lectures to you, I do not wish to throw upon you any responsibility for the views which I have put forward in them. I know that you do not agree with some of my views on the ancient religion and literature of India, and I am well aware that with regard to the recent date which I have assigned to the whole of what is commonly called the Classical Sanskrit Literature, I stand almost alone. No, if friendship can claim any voice in the courts of science and literature, let me assure you that I shall consider your outspoken criticism of my Lectures as the very best proof of your true and honest friendship.

Excerpt from India; What Can It Teach: A Course of Lectures, Delivered Before the University of Cambridge
I have had but few alterations and corrections to make in this new edition of my Lectures on India, which I had the honour to, deliver before the University of Cambridge in the year 1882.
I do not mean to say that my Lectures have not been attacked and criticised, but though I always feel grateful for any suggestions emanating from honest and impartial judges, I am not able in every case to accept their decision or to follow their advice.

I HAVE had but few alterations and corrections t{) make in this new edition of my Lectures on India, which I had the honour to deliver before the University of Cambridge in the year 1882. I do not mean to say that my Lectures have not been attacked and criticised, but though I always feel grateful for any suggestions emanating from honest and impartial judges, I am not able in every case to accept their decision or to follow their ad vice. The one Lecture which has provoked the most decided antagonism, viz. the second, on the Truthfulness of the Hindus, I was able to leave exactly as I delivered it and as it was printed in my first edition. I have given my authorities for every statement contained in that Lecture. The facts remain unshaken, and nothing that has been said against my conclusions has in the least altered the convictions which I expressed in it. In order to show, however, what extraordinary means are sometbnes resorted to by so-called impartial critics,
