Excerpt from Two Indian Reformers One other word of explanation. I shall have to quote translations from these writers, in order to illustrate their teaching and opinions. Now there is nothing so suspicious as a translation. It will be easy for anyone to say, O, that's all very well; but the writer of the essay has unconsciously coloured the translations by his own opinions. In order to guard against such criticism, which I at once admit would be perfectly fair, I propose, as far as possible, not to give my own translations, but to read those made by other people, who are beyond suspicion. Amongst these, the principal are the famous Horace Hayman Wilson, Mr. Growse, the translator of Tulasi Dasi's Ramayana (i believe, a Roman Catholic), and Mr. Foss Westcott, an Indian Missionary, and the son of the revered Bishop, the author of the commentary on St. John's Gospel.
