Excerpt from First Book of Sanskrit: Being an Elementary Treatise on Grammar, With Exercises
Tur. Study of Sanskrit has but recently risen in the estimation of the educated natives of this Presideney and of our Educational authorities. The old Sanskrit College of Poona owed its existence and continuance rather to 0. Spirit of conciliation and talc-ration in our rulers, than to their conviction of the utility of Sanskrit as a branch of general education. The modern critical and progressii? Spirit was not brought to bear upon it. The old Ss'istris were allowed to carry all things in their own way. After about thirty years since its establishment, the authorities began to exercise active interference, until at length the College was abolished, and a new system inaugurated, which to be complete and cll'eetive, requires, in my humble opinion, a partial restoration of the old institution.
