Page 197 - We do not, we cannot, associate with the natives. We cannot see them in their houses and with their families. We are necessarily very much confined to our houses by the heat ; all our wants and business which would create a greater intercourse with the natives is done for us, and we are in fact strangers in the land.
Page 123 - The mythology of the east confirms this opinion ; and it is possible, that the triple divinity of the Hindus was originally no more than a personification of the sun, whom they call Treyitenu, or three-bodied, in his triple capacity of producing forms by his genial heat, preserving them by his light, or destroying them by the concentrated force of his igneous matter...
Page 197 - The result of my own observation during my residence in India is that the Europeans generally know little or nothing of the customs and manners of the Hindus. We are all acquainted with some prominent marks and facts, which all who run may read ; but their manner of thinking, their domestic habits and ceremonies, in which circumstances a knowledge of the people consists, is, I fear, in great jjart wanting to us. We understand very imperfectly their language.

Two ditto without caparisons, for presents. Four English soldiers, on horseback, guarding the presents. The Union flag. The red, white, and blue flags. Seven State horses, richly caparisoned, two with English furniture, and five with Indian.

Charity envieth not, dealeth not perversely, is not puffed up, is not ambitious, seeketh not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinketh no evil, rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth with the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, : hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Page 197 - ... with the natives is done for us, and we " are in fact strangers in the land. I have personally found the want " of a work to which reference could be made for a just description of " the native opinions and manners. I am of opinion that, in a political " point of view, the information which the work of the Abbe Dubois " has to impart might be of the greatest benefit in aiding the servants " of the government in conducting themselves more in unison with the " customs and prejudices of the natives.
Page 165 - On this day, early in the morning, each family brings an earthen representation of a serpent, or paints a family of five, seven, or nine serpents with rubbed sandalwood or turmeric.
Page 197 - I fear, in great part wanting to us. We understand very imperfectly their language. They perhaps know more of ours ; but their knowledge is by no means sufficiently extensive to give a description of subjects not easily represented by the insulated words in daily use. We do not, we cannot, associate with the natives. We cannot see them in their houses and with their families.
Page xxxviii - I have much pleasure in moving that the best thanks of the Meeting be conveyed to Mr.
Page 125 - May those waters which are contiguous to the Sun, a and those with which the Sun is associated, be propitious to our rite. 18. I invoke the divine waters in which our cattle drink: offer oblations to the flowing (streams). 19. Ambrosia is in the waters ; in the waters are medicinal herbs; therefore, divine (priests), 6 be prompt in their praise.
