Excerpt from A History of Hindu Civilisation During British Rule; Vol. 3 of 4I have attempted in this volume to give some idea of the nature and operation of the influences which have affected the Hindu intellect under British Rule. In doing this; I have indicated; in a general way; how these influences have moulded the modern literature of India. It is my intention to present in the next volume a more complete account of the present intellectual condition of the Hindus as reflected in literature.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

36 of 37 people found the following review helpful. Great book. Terrible edition.By Nicholas ColemanWhen I purchased this book I was under the impression that it was a reprinting of the original. Imaging my surprise when I discover the book was automatically generated by an OCR of the original. The OCR is full of errors; the preface is missing pages; the numbers in the index do not correspond to the page numbers of the book; and the tables at the end of the book have been left out.To the publisher's credit; there is a link to a web site where one can download the original scan of the book. It's not a very high quality scan; but it is fairly legible and the missing tables are there (though not the missing pages of the preface).If this is good enough for you; then you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for an actual reprinting of the book; I'm afraid you are either stuck with the abridged version (which is not bad; but is abridged) or you must wait until the book is properly reprinted.20 of 20 people found the following review helpful. WarningBy Jeroen1302Perhaps a warning to people who think about purchasing this book: apperantly it's made by scanning in an older version and using a computer to recognise the letters or something like that. This means the book is full of annoying SPELLING MISTAKES and that there are NO TITLES AT ALL (!). The book is just text; nothing to organise it; while a book like this REALLY needs structure.If this is the only option to get your hands on this book; if you can read past the numerous mistakes and if you are organised enough to think all the titles along; then you might consider buying this item. Otherwise I advise you to STAY AWAY FROM IT.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Very good-quality reproduction of a masterpieceBy RedDwarfFanI know...l am supposed to review the content of the book; but so many have done this already; and yes; I agree; this book is a masterpiece of analysis and insight; so what am I writing a review about? Well; this is about the quality of the reproduction and its very affordable price (you'll notice than most other editions are quite pricey and often used). The book is brand new and it is a high-quality reproduction as described; Other reproductions are not so good; and some are outright mediocre. This one is superb. I have searched far and wide and decided to try this one. I was not disappointed. Five stars!
