Description
Excerpt from Vindication of the Hindoos From the Aspersions of the Reverend Claudius Buchanan, M.A: With a Refutation of the Arguments Exhibited in His Memoir, on the Expediency of an Ecclesiastical Establishment for British India, and the Ultimate Civilization of the Natives, by Their Conversion to Christianity
With these Remarks, are blended some extracts from the Hindoo Code of Laws, and other Works of Indian celebrity? Thus intro duced, for the purpose of evincing, that, if' the Hindoos are not already blessed with the virtues of l'i/iorality, it can in no wise be at tributed to the want of an ample system of Moral Ordinances, for the regulation of their conduct in society; and that, consequently, they have less need of the improving aid of Christianity, than is commonly imagined by those pious zealots who inconsiderately an nex the idea of barbarism, to every religious system, not blessed with the sacred light of Gospel dispensation.
Whether the Hindoo system merit the ap plication of an epithet so opprobrious, I must entirely leave to the unbiassed judge-e ment and candour of the reader, on an im partial consideration of the documents now before him: and I have only to regret, that.
