The following pages embody a study of Islám during a residence of fifteen years in India, the greater part of which time I have been in daily intercourse with Musalmáns. I have given in the footnotes the authorities from which I quote. I was not able to procure in Madras a copy of the Arabic edition of Ibn Khaldoun's great work, but the French translation by Baron M. de Slane, to which I so frequently refer, is thoroughly reliable. The quotations from the Qurán are made from Rodwell's translation. The original has been consulted when necessary. [mehr]

Robert Sewell (1845–1925)[citation needed] worked in the civil service of the Madras Presidency during the period of colonial rule in India.[1] He was Keeper of the Madras Record Office[2] and was tasked with responsibility for documenting ancient inscriptions and remains in the region, As with other British administrators of his type at that period, his purpose was not scholarly but rather to bolster administrative control by constructing a history that placed British rule as a virtue and a necessity rather than something to be denigrated. Portrayal of historic factionalism among local figureheads and dominion by alien despots would, it was thought, enhance the perception that only the British could rescue the country from its past.[1] Sewell's specialism was the Vijayanagara Empire, about which he authored A Forgotten Empire Vijayanagar: A Contribution to the History of India (1900). Burton Stein described this book as Sewell's only popular work ... [In which] an outline of the genealogical and chronological evidence on the dynasties of Vijayanagara was briefly presented followed by two long and historically configuring translations of the accounts of two sixteenth-century Portuguese visitors to the city.[1] [mehr]

In The Introduction To The First Volume Of the Translation Of the 'Vedanta-Sutras With Sankara'S Commentary' (Vol. Xxxiv Of this Series) I Have Dwelt At Some Length On The Interest Which Ramanuja'S Commentary May Claim--As Being, On The One Hand, The Fullest Exposition Of what May Be Called The Theistic Vedanta, And As Supplying us, On The Other, With Means Of penetrating to The True Meaning of badarayana'S Aphorisms. I Do Not Wish To Enter Here Into A Fuller Discussion Of ramanuja'S Work In Either Of these Aspects; An Adequate Treatment Of them Would, Moreover, Require Considerably More Space Than Is At My Disposal. Some Very Useful Material For The Right Understanding of ramanuju'S Work Is To Be Found In The 'Analytical Outline Of contents' Which Messrs. M. Rangakarya And M. B. Varadaraja Aiyangar Have Prefixed To The First Volume Of their Scholarly Translation Of the Sribhashya (Madras, 1899). [mehr]

At the age of six he went to a school kept by a Miss Boswell at Haverstock Hill, was removed to another school at Bradmore House, Chiswick, and finally, about 1843, entered King's College School. Having completed his education, he was articled to his father, and remained in his office about four years, when he obtained a situation in the Madras Railway Company's office in New Broad Street, city of London, and in his spare time followed his artistic and literary tastes.[1] As soon as he was able to do so he left the railway company and devoted himself entirely to literature as a profession. Having studied painting under Rolt, and learned engraving, he at one time sought employment on Punch as a draughtsman on wood. In 1859 he became a member of the Artists' Rifles, and also a member of the Ramblers' Club, which met every night from November to May at Dick's Tavern, 8 Fleet Street. About this period, in conjunction with Mr. Leopold Lewis, he wrote a melodrama entitled The Dove and the Serpent, which was produced with much success, under Mr. Nelson Lee's management, at the City of London Theatre.[2] [mehr]
