of a native militia, the larger employment of natives,
the age and education of civil servants, the amelioration
of the condition of the ryots, and the making of laws
for their protection, and the permanent settlement; and
every word of what he said deserves to be carefully read
and considered by our rulers as well as our patriots.
He also wrote various pamphlets such as 1 the ad-

tion in India,' and published a collected edition of
some of his works. He presented the petitions he had

and glory, and the first native of India who set foot
on the shores of England did not return to tell the story
of his visit, to his mother country.
