As a short story collection, this book explores the meaning of life - success and failure, and how they interrelate. People often misplace priority over the two. This book contains tales of how people go through the webs of life, exploring human experiences with art. Love is also depicted in some chapters. Love is complex: agonizing, ecstatic, unpredictable, and trying, and serene. Fiction is also used, but more to induce introspection than to entertain. [mehr]

The _Rambles And Recollections Of an Indian Official_, Always A Costly Book, Has Been Scarce And Difficult To Procure For Many Years Past. Among The Crowd Of books Descriptive Of indian Scenery, Manners, And Customs, The Sterling merits Of sir William Sleeman'S Work Have Secured It Pre-Eminence, And Kept It In constant Demand, Notwithstanding the Lapse Of nearly Fifty Years Since Its Publication. The High Reputation Of this Work Does Not Rest Upon Its Strictly Literary Qualities. The Author Was A Busy Man, Immersed All His Life In the Practical Affairs Of administration, And Too Full Of His Subject To Be Careful Of strict Correctness Of style Or Minute Accuracy Of expression.

The Buddhists Had Upset All Common Sense Convictions Of Substance And Attribute, Cause And Effect, And Permanence Of Things, On The Ground That All Collocations Are Momentary; Each Group Of Collocations Exhausts Itself In Giving Rise To Another Group And That To Another And So On. But If A Collocation Representing Milk Generates The Collocation Of Curd It Is Said To Be Due To A Joint Action Of The Elements Forming The Cause-Collocation And The _Modus Operandi_ Is Unintelligible; The Elements Composing The Cause-Collocation Cannot Separately Generate The Elements Composing The Effect-Collocation, For On Such A Supposition It Becomes Hard To Maintain The Doctrine Of Momentariness As The Individual And Separate Exercise Of Influence On The Part Of The Cause-Elements And Their Coordination And Manifestation As Effect Cannot But Take More Than One Moment.

The Achievements Of The Ancient Indians In The Field Of Philosophy Are But Very Imperfectly Known To The World At Large, And It Is Unfortunate That The Condition Is No Better Even In India. There Is A Small Body Of Hindu Scholars And Ascetics Living A Retired Life In Solitude, Who Are Well Acquainted With The Subject, But They Do Not Know English And Are Not Used To Modern Ways Of Thinking, And The Idea That They Ought To Write Books In Vernaculars In Order To Popularize The Subject Does Not Appeal To Them. Through The Activity Of Various Learned Bodies And Private Individuals Both In Europe And In India Large Numbers Of Philosophical Works In Sanskrit And Pâli Have Been Published, As Well As Translations Of A Few Of Them, But There Has Been As Yet Little Systematic Attempt On The Part Of Scholars To Study Them And Judge Their Value. There Are Hundreds Of Sanskrit Works On Most Of The Systems Of Indian Thought And Scarcely A Hundredth Part Of Them Has Been Translated. [mehr]

Annie Heloise Abel (February 18, 1873 – March 14, 1947)[1] was a history professor.[2] After her marriage she was also known as Annie Heloise Abel-Henderson. One of the ablest women historians of her day, she was an acknowledged expert on the history of British and American policy toward natives. Historians consider her most important work to be the three-volume The Slave Holding Indians.[3] She studied British policy toward natives throughout the British Empire, not just in the new world. The American Historical Association awarded her the Justin Winsor Prize in 1906 for her manuscript The History of Events Resulting in Indian Consolidation West of the Mississippi River.[4] [mehr]

Henry Rowe Schoolcraft (March 28, 1793 – December 10, 1864) was an American geographer, geologist, and ethnologist, noted for his early studies of Native American cultures, as well as for his 1832 expedition to the source of the Mississippi River. He is also noted for his major six-volume study of American Indians in the 1850s. He served as a United States Indian agent for a period beginning in 1822 in Michigan, where he married Jane Johnston, mixed-race daughter of a prominent Scots-Irish fur trader and Ojibwa mother, who was daughter of a war chief. She taught him the Ojibwe language and much about her maternal culture. They had several children, two of whom survived past childhood. She is now recognized as the first Native American literary writer in the United States. [mehr]

Allan Octavian Hume CB (6 June 1829 – 31 July 1912) was a civil servant, political reformer, ornithologist and horticulturalist in British India. He was one of the founders of the Indian National Congress, a political party that was later to lead in the Indian independence movement. A notable ornithologist, Hume has been called "the Father of Indian Ornithology" and, by those who found him dogmatic, "the Pope of Indian ornithology."[1] [mehr]
