Recenzii

"Quoting extensively from every available source, including family papers, and weaving a dense network of information, while remaining readable and jargon free, this relatively concise but extremely thorough study captures in judicious detail the way in which knowledge for its own sake grew out of knowledge required to rule Bengal... Obviously,this brief review cannot do justice to such a polymath. Perhaps it is most appropriate to conclude with the opinion of Wilhelm von Humboldt, cited by the Rochers, that while Colebrooke lacked “the soaring mind and spirit of Jones”, he surpassed Jones in his “sober insight and judgement.” - Andrew Robinson; Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society (2012).
