Synopsis
Excerpt from The Maháwansso in Roman Characters, Vol. 1 of 2: With the Translation Subjoined, and an Introductory Essay on Pali Buddhistical Literature
The department in which their researches have been attended with the least success, is Hrs'ronr; and to this failure may perhaps be justly attributed the small portion of interest felt by the European literary world in oriental literature. The progress of civilization in the west has, from age to age, nay, from year to year, added some fresh advancement or refinement to almost every branch of the arts, sciences, and belles lettres; while there is scarcely any discovery made, as hitherto developed in Asiatic literature, which could be considered either as an acquisition of practical utility to European civilisation, or as models for imitation or adoption in European literature.
