To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is owing to their mixed system of theology and jurisprudence, interwoven as it is with all their customs, and with their whole domestic oeconomy, that the Hindu race have been able to preserve so much of their original character of patience, tern- 68 perance, and forbearance, together with those industrious habits, and that love of the peaceful arts, which the Grecian his- torians first described, which our best mo- dern travellers have confirmed, and whicji the personal knowledge of the hig...hest authorities on this subject has vci'ified. These quaHlies are, it is true, debased bv their rooted avarice, and by that knavery and cunning which they. Betray in all their mercantile transactions; whilst some of their religious rites, and some of their oc- casional practices, seem to indicate a san- guinary and revengeful disposition. In spite, however, of tlicse exceptions, the modern Hindus, who lorm nine-tenths of the inhabitants of India, are unquestionably a peaceful and industrious people ; suscepti- ble of friendly attachment to those who respect their religious prejudices and ancient customs; and seldom roused into enniity, except \^hen these rights, w^bich they hold sacred, are infiin-cd, or disreirardcd.
