The Orienti-Occidental tuitionary pioneer to literary pursuits, by the King's and Company's Officers of all Ranks, Capacities, and Departments, either as probationers at scholastic establishments, during the early periods of life, their outward voyage to the East, or while actually serving in British India; Containing the most essential Clauses in the recent Haileybury College Suspension Bill; a very late but extraordinary monopolistic Regulation from the India House; with Copy of a Letter, dated July 31, 1818, to the Right Hon. George Canning, (then President of the Board of Controul for British Indian Affairs;) prefixed to a complete regular series of fourteen reports, (From 1818 to 1826 inclusive), To the Court of Directors of the East India Company, Etc. on the Rigid periodical Examinations and elementary Education in Eastern Tongues of every public Functionary, previous to Nomination and consequent Departure from England; earnestly recommending also the general Introduction, and efficient Culture immediately, of practical Orientalism, simultaneously with useful Occidental learning, at all The Colleges, respectable Institutions, Schools, or Academies, in the United Kingdom, Where the several Arts and Sciences, indispensible for the due Discharge of professional or official Duties, are likewise communicated on rational and improved Principles to each Scholar, from Infancy to Adolescence, according to their respective Occupations, Prospects, and other Circumstances. Including An accurate Alphabetical List of 1600 Students, with their several Ranks as Officers and Orientalists; Letters from the Asiatic Journal on the Education of Cadets; copious Paragraphs from the Language Institution's Reports on the Propogation of Christianity; certain Collegiate Enactments by Lord Amherst; Extracts from a King's Officer's Pamphlet on the Indian Army; and some Hints relative to the Scottish Military Academy, founded last August in Edinburgh. Likewise a brief prospectus of the Art of Thinking made easy and attractive to Children, By the early and familiar Union of Theory with colloquial Practice, on commensurate Premises, in some appropriate Examples, Lists, &c. besides a comprehensive Panglossal Diorama for a universal Language and Character; Accompanied with the Hindee-Roman Orthoepigraphical Alphabet, a few Specimens of synoptical Lectures on the principal Languages current in Hindoostan, and a perfectly new theory of Latin verbs. The whole conveying with seasonable Information to opulent Families, during the partial Suspension for Three Years of the Haileybury College Bill, independent of no small portion of very valuable miscellaneous, philological, and local Knowledge, in what may still be termed the Regio Ignota of oriental Education in England, to all such political Characters, Statesmen, and other Personages as are connected, directly or indirectly, with British India; as also to those benevolent Individuals who may feel any way concerned in the rapid Progress of the best Systems of Education through every Region of the Globe; but more especially among many Millions of Asiatics in our Eastern Domains, and over the vast Peninsula of Hindoostan, Thousands of whom are at present thirsting after operative, literary, scientific, and moral Cultivation from the beneficent Hands of their liberal Conquerors and Christian Rulers, as the acknowledged Guardians of the Commonweal and general Civilization of Myriads, whom Providence has subjected to British Sway, probably for the wisest purposes, and in the most interesting Empire of the Whole World...By John Borthwick Gilchrist.
