The orientalist James Robert Ballantyne (1813–64) published this two-volume work in 1852. Intended for his Indian pupils, with Sanskrit translation and employing the style of Hindu philosophy, it is an excellent primary source on the educational aspects of British imperialism. Volume 1 introduces astronomy, geography, Newtonian motion, pneumatics, acoustics and optics.
