Excerpt from India, What Can It Teach Us?: A Course of Lectures Delivered Before the University of Cambridge
As these Lectures would never have been written or delivered but for your hearty encourage ment, I hope you will now allow me to dedicate them to you, not only as a token of my sincere admiration of your great achievements as an Oriental scholar, but also as a memorial of our friendship, now more than thirty years old, a friendship which has grown from year to year, has weathered many a storm, and will last, I trust, for What to both of us may remain of our short passage from shore to shore.

"This is the kind of book that should be in the possession of all Indians and India-lovers, travelers to India, or those wanting to understand this ancient and mystical land."Why?"Read this extract from F. Max Muller, one of the foremost foreign scholars who ever worked on Indic studies-"If I were to look over the whole world to find out the country most richly endowed with all the wealth, power, and beauty that nature can bestow-in some parts a very paradise on earth-I should point to India."If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions of some of them which well deserve the attention even of those who have studied Plato and Kant-I should point to India."And if I were to ask myself from what literature we, here in Europe, we who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of one Semitic race the Jewish, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life-again I should point to India."
