European Colonies, in Various Parts of the World, Viewed in Their Social, Moral and Physical Condition, Vol. 2 of 2 (Classic Reprint) by John Howison (Paperback / softback, 2015)
Excerpt from European Colonies, in Various Parts of the World, Viewed in Their Social, Moral and Physical Condition, Vol. 2 of 2 In attempting to describe the aborigines of India, I feel myself in the situation of a painter who proposes to take a drawing of some vast and partly-ruined edifice. He experiences little difficulty in sketching the general outlines of the structure, and delineating its bolder features; but when he seeks to trace its minuter parts, and to give the exact proportions of the whole, he is overwhelmed by the difficulties of the task, and throws down his pencil in despair.
