________________ PREFACE vii the time they ought to give to teaching or research. And throughout England the state of things is nearly as bad. In all England, for instance, there are two chairs of Sanskrit. In Germany the Gov. ernments provide more than twenty-just as if Ger. many's interests in India were more than ten times as great as ours. Meanwhile our Government is supine and placid, confident that, somehow or other, we shall muddle through ; and that this is no busi. ness of theirs. This work has been long delayed, and has suffered much from the necessity laid upon me of trying to write it in scraps of time rescued, with difficulty, from the calls of a busy life. I can only hope that other scholars, more able and less hampered than myself, will be able to give to the problems of entrancing interest I have ventured to raise a consideration more worthy of them, in every way, than I have been able to give. T. W. Rhys-DAVIDS. October, 1902. Shree Sudharmaswami Gyanbhandar-Umara, Surat www.umaragyanbhandar.com
