THE

CALCUTTA REVIEW.

VOLUME LI.

1870.

No man who hath tasted learning but will confess the many ways of profiting
by those who, not contented with stale receipts, are able to manage and set forth
new positions to the world: and, were they but as the dust and cinders of our
feet, so long as in that notion they may yet serve to polish and brighten the
armoury of truth, even for that respect they were not utterly to be cast away.—
MILTON.
