"It İs Undoubtedly A Surprising Fact That Down To The Present Time No Historyof Sanskrit Literature As A Whole Has Been Written İn English. For Not Onlydoes That Literature Possess Much İntrinsic Merit, But The Light İt Sheds On Thelife And Thought Of The Population Of Our Indian Empire Ought To Have Apeculiar İnterest For The British Nation. Owing Chiefly To The Lack Of Anadequate Account Of The Subject, Few, Even Of The Young Men Who Leavethese Shores Every Year To Be İts Future Rulers, Possess Any Connectedinformation About The Literature İn Which The Civilisation Of Modern Indiacan Be Traced To İts Sources, And Without Which That Civilisation Cannot Befully Understood.
