Excerpt from India and Its Mutiny: A Lecture, Delivered Before the Halifax Young Men's Christian Association, on Tuesday Evening, March 16, 1858
But again. It is India that has fired the ambition of the mightiest conquerors, from Alexander to N apoleon - that has paid the largest tributes of life and treasure almost without resistance, filling the sacks of all her spoilers with rubies, pearls and gold, and feeding with countless victims from her vassal races the insatiable vultures of barbaric war - so that if she has beckoned to her coasts the crowding keels of com merce, she has also stood with helpless hands to tempt the destroying visits of the invader. If India has been the rich est market for the merchant, it has been also the fattest field for the soldier. If you are able now to picture the racing crafts that have been scudding across the ocean to receive the wealthy burden of her products since England has ruled her regions, you may also see, though the mists of time may a little cloud the vision, the hurrying hosts of Macedon, Tare tary, and Arabia, sweeping to their easiest and most splendid prey.
