Основы грамматики санскрита и введение в Хитопадешу (на англ. яз.)"Can a book of this kind, — it may be asked, — prepared for Hindus, be a quite suitable book for learners in England?" I answer — "Yes. If suitable for the one class, it is suitable for the other." The mere students of English, in the Government Colleges in India, have lost — as the bulk of English boys are not now required to have — the power (so remarkable in Hindu children) of learning by heart long strings of words and long strings of rules, not merely without explanation, but without repugnance. The Hindu student who has devoted himself (as so many now do) to the nearly exclusive study of English, and, on the other hand, the English youth, stand therefore in much the same position as regards their entrance on the study of Sanskrit.
