F. H. Skrine, Esq., I. C. S. I have read Charaka-Samhita with interest. It is marvellously like Hyppocrates’ maxims in spirit and form. It is wonderful to note the comparatively advanced views held by the sages of your country and how completely they had anticipated discoveries which we moderns flatter ourselves are due to the enlightenment of this age.
G. A. Grierson, Esq., C. S., Gy a : — It will supply a want long felt. I shall be obliged by your getting my. name down as a subscriber to the work.
Dr. Griffith Evans, M. D., Brynkynalt, Bangor, North Wales : — The book is exceedingly interesting and instructive for those who are fond of tracing the origin, growth and development of medical science, and also illustrates some ancient customs of India, j
The Honorable Raja Peary Mohun Mukerji, C. I. E. : — Your English translation of Charaka-Samhita, so far as it has gone, has placed the treasures of a great work before a large class of readers. Notwithstanding the inevitable difficulty of identifying a large number of plants, mentioned in the Sanskrit text, the translation must be accepted as possibly the best that could be expected, under the circumstances. People are beginning to find that a knowledge of the laws of Health should form a prime element in every system of education. They could look for no better guide than Charaka-Samhita. It is a work that should be in the hands of every Hindu, old or young.
The Hon’ble Justice Gooroodas Banerji,— The work is not only of value to physician and the antiquarian, but will be of great interest to the general reader as well.. Your undertaking deserves encouragement and support, I wish you all success.
