While living in India for sixteen years, James Robert Ballantyne
(1813 64) taught oriental languages to Indian pupils and became
fascinated by Hindu philosophy, seeking to harmonise it with the
Western tradition. He produced grammars of Hindi, Sanskrit and
Persian, translations of Indian linguistics, and a science primer
in English and Sanskrit (also reissued in the Cambridge Library
Collection). Intended for the Tyro missionary and published in
1859, this work offers a summary of Hinduism (covering the Nyaya,
Sankhya and Vedanta schools) and argues for the truth of
Christianity, while acknowledging certain shared ideas. It contains
a facing Sanskrit translation (with redactions of parts considered
to be of no importance to 'those whom the missionary has to
teach'). A valuable primary source for scholars of orientalism,
this work helps to illuminate the religious dimensions of British
imperialism.
