ABSTRACT
The divine authority of the Christianity, its unrivalled excellence, and incomparable fitness to promote the happiness of man, its whole tenor, and many particular injunctions and encouragements which it holds forth, impose upon those who profess subjection to it, the duty of contributing to diffuse, by all proper methods, the knowledge and influence of it in the world. The acquisition of a foreign language is a matter of no great difficulty. Natives readily learnt the language of government, finding that the language was necessary in every concern of revenue and of justice. The most important communication which the Hindoos could receive through the medium of native language, would be the knowledge of religion, the principles of which are explained in a clear, easy way, in various tracts. Brahminical faith, is sufficient to evince that the Hindoos are capable of considerable fluctuations of opinion. Many of the Hindoos and Mahomedans, are brought up to the ready practice of writing and accounts.
