Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anglo-Indian Prize Poems Before the departure of the Prince of Wales for India, it became evident that the visit of His Royal Highness would greatly excite the Oriental imagination, and that many poems would be com posed in his honour. Foreseeing that these com positions would prove interesting, not only on account of their peculiar Oriental character, but also as spontaneous expressions of the sentiments and feelings of the educated classes in India towards the Royal Family, it was thought de sirable to offer prizes to the extent of One Hundred Guineas for a limited number of the best poems, in English or in any Indian language; upon the subject of The Royal Visit. To ao complish this the Proprietor of The Crown Per famery Company of London took the initiative, and his offer was extensively announced in this country and throughout Hindustan. The result is that over one hundred and fifty poems have been received - more than one-third of the number from Indian authors in Hindustani, Telugu, Tamil, Bengali, Sanskrit, Gujerati, Mahrz'itti, Hindi, etc. It may be added that these poems have been written by Indian Portuguese, Native Christians, Brahmans, Sudras, Rajpoots, Mahommedans, and various types.
