Ancient and Medieval India, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Ancient And Medieval India, Vol. 1 My Hope And Endeavour Will Be To Stimulate A Desire For Greater Knowledge Of That Wonderful And Remark Able Empire Which So Many Dislike In Ignorance. Let Us For A Moment Try To Realize The Difference Which Knowledge Causes. In Familiar Language, It May Be Said To Illustrate The Old Story Of Eyes And No Eyes. A Botanist Goes, And Sees At A Glance, New Vegetable Forms, And Rare owers. The Naturalist Is No Less Delighted With The Bright Birds And Grotesque Insects Which His Practised Eye Detects. The Artist Watches With Enthusiasm The Peculiar Splendour Of The Sunrise Or The Sunset, The Grand Cloud Scenery, And The Imposing Aspect Of The Cities And Temples, Forests And Rivers. So, Also, The Observing Philosopher, The Ethnologist, And The Philologist, Each Finds Ample And Delightful Occupation.
