Synopsis

Excerpt from The Ādi Granth, or the Holy Scriptures of the Sikhs: Trasnslated From the Original Gurmukhī, With Introductory Essays

After I had gone through the Granth in this wearisome way and pre pared my tools, I returned to Europe in the spring of the year 1872, and began to write down the translation for the press. I had thus to do the work twice, but I saw, under the disadvantages under which I had been labouring, no other way open, if I wished to lay down a solid foundation and to give a translation which should be of any scientific value.

That in many passages, even after all the trouble I have taken, my translation may partly prove deficient, I fully allow, and in a first attempt on such a vast field, which has hitherto hardly been touched, this will appear natural enough to any man, who is conversant with the peculiar difficulties of such an undertaking.
