INTRODUCTION.
BENEATH THIS STONE
Rest the Remains of Raja Rammohun Roy
Bahadoor a conscientious and steadfast
Believer in the Unity of the
Godhead;
He consecrated his life with entire devotion
To the worship of the Divine Spirit
Alone.
To great natural Talents he united a through
mastery of many languages, and early distinguished
himself as one of the greatest scholars of his day.
His unwearied labours to promote the social, moral
and physical condition of the people of India, his earnest
Endeavours to suppress idolatry and the rite of Suttee,
and his constant zealous advocacy of whatever tended
to advance the glory of god and the welfare of man,
live in the grateful remembrance of his countrymen.
This table record the sorrow and pride with which
his memory is cherished by his descendants.
He was born in Radhanagore, in Bengal in 1774, and
died at Bristol, September 27th, 1833.
We have attemped to give within a short compass
the account of a most eventful life. For the purposes
of an introduction to his works, it will, we think, be
deemed sufficient. His writings were the chief work of
his life, We publish them as far as we have been able
to collect, and only hope that they will be read with the
regard they deserve.
As regards the erudition, wisdom and true insight
into the essence of things, displayed in these writings,
they are apparent to the most superficial reader; and
we have seen how readily they were acknowledged in
England and America. As to the style of Ram Mohan
