Description
Excerpt from Commentary on the Hindu System of Medicine
The early period at which Sanskrit was cultivated, and the success with which the study was attended, prove the great capacity of those who made it the Object of pursuit. In some cases, it seems to have been blended with other languages, and in others it probably absorbed the dialects of the abori gines. Its analogy to the languages with which scholars are familiar, and its connection with the local religion, arts, and sciences, like those of Greece and Rome, render the study ex ceedingly interesting, and excite a desire to become acquaint ed with its literary remains, containing as they do memorials of an ancient theology, of poetry, science, and philosophy, which have exerted an in?uence over the most distinguished nations of antiquity, and to which even Europe is indebted for the rudiments of her learning.
