A Manual of Hindu Law on the Basis of Sir Thomas Strange (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Hindu Law on the Basis of Sir Thomas Strange In conclusion, I would express my regret (a regret, doubtless, shared by many) that India has lost the services of Dr. Burnett, who has been compelled to retire from his labors, owing to ill-health. India, and particularly the Madras Presidency, can ill afford to lose the services of so distinguished a savant.
