By John Muir

Book Overview

""Reasons For The Establishment Of A Sanskrit Chair In The University Of Edinburgh"" is a book written by John Muir in 1860. The book argues for the establishment of a Sanskrit Chair at the University of Edinburgh, which would allow for the study of the ancient Indian language and its literature. Muir explains that Sanskrit is a key language for understanding the history and culture of India, and that it has had a significant impact on the development of Western thought. He also argues that the study of Sanskrit would be beneficial for trade and diplomacy between Britain and India. Muir provides a detailed history of Sanskrit scholarship in Europe and argues that the establishment of a Sanskrit Chair in Edinburgh would be a significant step forward in the study of this important language. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Sanskrit scholarship and the role of the language in the development of Western thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
