Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches by Raja Rajendralala Mitra, L. L. D., C. I. E No one holds up a candle light to show the midday sun. The speeches of Raja Rajendralala Mitra are their own recommendation and require no puff to commend them to the notice of the public. The profundity of erudition, the breadth of views, the encyclopediac character of knowledge which Raja Rajendralala Mitra brought to bear on his public utterances are rare in these days of cram and shallowness. And what will strike the reader most is the mark of originality and individuality which Raja Rajendralala has left in every branch of theoretical speculation and practical business. His was the rare knack of calling a spade a spade, and of subordinating the will of others to that of his own. He was an intellectual pugilist whose pleasure was in vanquishing an opponent and floating against the stream. But at the same time there was neither brag nor bluster, nor that spirit of braggadacio which emanates from vanity, that sure index of inanity. He would give praise to whom praise was due and gladly sympathize with and support any project which had for its object the well-being of society, encouragement of learning, or improvement in the condition of the masses of the people, irrespective of the quarter from which it emanated. But for vanity and plans of self-aggrandisement he had nothing but a long whip to crack. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
