""Preeminence Of The Vernaculars Or The Anglicists Answered: Being Four Letters On The Education Of The People Of India"" is a book written by Brian Houghton Hodgson in 1847. The book is a response to the debate that was ongoing at the time regarding the language of instruction in India's schools. The Anglicists argued for the use of English, while the Vernacularists advocated for the use of local languages. Hodgson, who was a British colonial administrator and scholar of Nepalese culture and language, argued in favor of the Vernacularists. He believed that teaching in local languages would be more effective in educating the masses and promoting cultural understanding. The book contains four letters written by Hodgson, in which he presents his arguments and refutes those of the Anglicists. The book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the colonial education system in India and the debates surrounding language and culture. It also provides insights into the views of British colonial administrators on the education of the Indian population. Overall, ""Preeminence Of The Vernaculars Or The Anglicists Answered"" is an important contribution to the history of education in India and the colonial period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

An English civil servant who worked in British India and Nepal, Brian Houghton Hodgson (c.1801-94) was also a specialist in Tibetan Buddhism. First published in 1874, this is a collection of his essays on nineteenth-century Nepal and Tibet, earlier versions of which had appeared in the Journal of the Bengal Asiatic Society and two books of Hodgson's own, later updated for the Phoenix, a monthly magazine for China, Japan and eastern Asia. Diverse in coverage, the essays represent over thirty years' research. Those in Part 1 focus on Buddhism, covering religious practices, writing, literature, attitudes to Buddhism and the differences between Buddhism and Shaivism. The pieces in Part 2 explore other aspects of Nepal and the Himalayas, such as tribal culture, colonisation and commerce. Discussing a range of linguistic, cultural, sociological and economic topics, this collection remains relevant to scholars working in these fields.
