About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1873. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... 275 chapter ix. 1810--1815. Supplementary Dlgest--Translations Of Treatises On Inheritance Seat In Council--Marriage And Return To England. The triumph of the old world over the new, recounted in the last chapter, was not finally achieved until many years after Mr. Colebrooke's return to England. In order to give a connected account of his literary and scientific labours in India, I have been compelled to deviate occasionally from a strictly chronological rule. I must now revert to some important incidents connected with his official career. Though by taste and pursuits a man of science and letters, he bore unflinchingly the onerous duties of his office. Those who knew him in India have informed me that the sittings of the Court were heavy, and sometimes absorbed his whole time. But in truth he was as enthusiastic in his labours as a lawyer as in determining abstruse questions in Indian literature. The supplement to the Digest of Hindu Law was no ordinary undertaking. He proposed to recast the whole title of Inheritance, so imperfectly treated in the Digest which he translated, and supplement it with a series of compilations on the several heads of Criminal Law, Pleading, and Evidence, as treated by Indian jurists. In a letter to Sir Thomas Strange, which will be found in a later chapter of this Life, it is stated that the Sanscrit text was complete, and the translation was considerably advanced. The original text is not in my possession; but the latter statement is borne out by the large materials which he had collected on the heads of Inheritance and Testimony, much of which is reduced to order, and might have been soon made ready for the press. On the Criminal Law of the Hindus I find no trace of his labour. He attached no importance this branch of his task....
