Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of Old Bombay and Western India: With Other Papers BY the kindness of the proprietors of the Calcutta Review, Pioneer, Times of India, and the Bombay Gazette, the papers of which this volume consists are now published, after revision, in a collected form. They are mostly on Bombay and Western -india, as were the two volumes under that title published in 1893. Humanly speaking, this is the last stone I shall heave on to the cairn of Old Bombay. Now that all the parts of the contribution are brought together, they appear to me to form a crude and heterogeneous mass, whilst their defects are accentuated. But the labour of research and preparation has been one of love, a delightful pastime for many years in the intervals of a busy life; and my hope is that the investiga tions 1 have made will encourage a young and rising generation to follow up this attractive study, while the minds of others may be refreshed by stories of the olden time. To the many friends (and their name is legion) who have assisted me in various ways I tender my warmest thanks. To the native and the European, but chiefly to the latter, Bombay is a city of temporary habitation. Men and women come here and go away, and the place that knew them knows them no more. There is little of the continuity of tradition from father to son. Take the plague, for example. No one by tradition knows anything about it - contrasting with the knowledge upon the subject in Venice, or Genoa, or in Edinburgh.

On June 19th, 1715, Cobbe preached a sermon in furtherance of building a church in Bombay, which fired the zeal of the community. After the sermon he waited on Governor Aislabie, and here is Dr. Oobbe's own account of the interview: --"Well, Doctor, you have been very zealous for the church this morning." "Please, your Honour, there was occasion enough for it, and I hope without offence." "Well, then, if we must have a church, we will have a church. Do you see and get a book made, and see what everyone will contribute towards it, and I will give first." The Governor subscribed Rs. 1,000, leaving a blank for the Company's subscription, which was afterwards filled in with Rs. 10,000. The church was erected and opened in 1718. Very little change was made in its internal economy, and the pews and seats remained unaltered for a hundred years. In 1818, exactly a century after the church had been opened for the first time, the pews were altered, and new chairs set down. Being entirely re-seated, the interior presented quite a different aspect, was much more comfortable for the worshippers, and more seemly for a house of God, inasmuch as some invidious distinctions between the well-to-do and common people had been...

This book was released on 2024-06-13 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first collected edition of John Cleland's correspondence, this volume provides a rare insight into a significant literary life and into jobbing authorship in the eighteenth century. All known letters by and to Cleland are included entire, alongside letter excerpts, diary entries and documents in which he is discussed by friends, enemies, family members and distant acquaintances. The volume also includes Cleland's christening record, a manuscript essay composed by Cleland in French on 'Litterateurs', and the will of Cleland's mother Lucy, whose many codicils reveal her determination to prevent her profligate son from squandering her fortune. Interspersed throughout are telling remarks about Cleland from figures such as Alexander Pope, Samuel Foote, Claude-Pierre Patu, and, most revealing and intriguing of all, vignettes by the great biographer James Boswell. The volume makes several new attributions and demonstrates for the first time the extent of Cleland's participation in the European Enlightenment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Medical knowledge is not communicable to the natives of this country.” With these words, James McAdam, Secretary of the Medical Board of Bombay, sounded the death-knell in 1832 of the pioneering medical school set up in Bombay by Governor Mountstuart Elphinstone. Sir Robert Grant, appointed Governor of Bombay in 1834, disagreed, however. He aimed at ‘the general improvement of medical and surgical science and practice among the native practitioners’. With Dr Charles Morehead, he created a medical college superior to those in Calcutta, and Madras. Parsi philanthropist Sir Jamsetjee Jejeebhoy single-handedly donated an entire hospital to complement this college. Graduates from these institutions, trained in scientific medicine of the highest standards, went on to serve their fellow countrymen with distinction. This book narrates how against great odds, Grant Medical College went on to rival medical colleges in Europe and America, and Dr Morehead was invited to help improve medical education at the University of London.
