" If there has been any foundation for the complaint, that the splendid scenery
and the gorgeous architecture of India have never yet been adequately pourtrayed
by the pencil, it will vanish when this work shall be known, which certainly
equals, if it does not transcend, any antecedent production of the graphic art.
This work bids fair not merely to establish the fame of Captain Grindlay, but to do
honour to the British arts : and if it meet with but small encouragement, we shall
think it disreputable to the public taste, the improvement of which has, tardily,
become an object of some solicitude to the state."—Asiatic Journal.
