Excerpt from A Lecture on the Life and Labours of Rammohan Roy
The following lecture of which the original MS was obtained by me from the author in 1862, is presented to the public for the first time in a printed form. I owe an apology to the venerable author for falling so far short of his expressed h0pe, that everything should be done in the getting up of the essay, so as to show respect to the memory of Rammohun Roy. The defects of the present edition, for which I alone am responsible, could only have been remedied with more leisure at my command but I feel confident that the lecture, even in its present shape.

Excerpt from A Lecture on the Life and Labours of Rammohan Roy
Again, if the prevalence of the domestic and personal virtues throws a grace and a beauty over human life, and constitute the source of much of human happiness, and the substance of much of human excellence, then, is that excellence possessed in no mean degree by the civilized nations of the East, amongst whom, temperence, hospitality, and the mutual respect, affection, and kindness of relatives are largely practised and are everywhere venerated and upheld by the force of public sentiment.
But, while the claims of Eastern nations to our respect are on many grounds unquestionable, there is a class of virtues, and a cláss of good and great men belonging in an eminent degree to Christian countries, of which scarcely any examples are found in the countries of Asia, Philanthropy, - self-sacrificing philanthropy - that pure, generous, and lofty -enthusiasm, which inspires the soul, and teaches and enables a man calmly to put aside the seductions pf pleasure and the smiles of the world, and to live, to act, to think only or chiefly for the benefit of others with whom he has no personal, domestic, social, or even national ties - this is a virtue which seems almost exclusively of Christian growth, and the very conception of which appears foreign to most Asiatic minds.
