In addition to his duty as a member of the court• ell, he held the office of commissary-general during the years 1757-55, and 59; so that almost the whole of his time was occupied in public basiness. Yet fond of social pleasures, he found leisure to cul tivate the friendship of those in whcm he discovered any estimable qualities. With Admiral Watson and Sir George Pocock, he was in habits of great inti macy ; and with Captain Speke, who commanded the flag-shp, then on the India station, be con tracted a close friendship, which not only contri buted to their own gratification, but tended to ad vaace the public service; for by their cordial and united 'exertions many difficulties and ime.edienents that obstruled the co-operation of the land and naval farces, were either obviated or remaved. He entertained a high esteem for Mr. James Alex ander, (late Lord Viscount Cale Jon) who was his Depaty, as Accountant General. About this time, too, he became acquainted with M r . Alex ander li:lrymple, who has since acquired so much merited reputation by his graphicalhydro works. Dalrymple was then Under Store-keeper at . Ma. dras ; and Orme perceiving that he had a capacity fitted for a higher station, was desirous of gettin s him nominated to succeed Mr. Alexander, as lipityt Accountant. His endeavours in ths particular were unsuccessful • but he continued with a generous at . tention to cherish and befriend Dalrymple, whose good natural parts, he rightly judged, might be employed to the advantage of the public. Though his official avocations prevented him from applying to the study of classical literature, for which he had in his youth imbibed an ardent desire, they afforded him great facilities for colleet ing those historical materials. by which that lit.a rary charatter he was so ambitious to gain, was stined to be established. He was, however, ob liged to relinquish those pursuits sooner th in be wished. The unwearied attention with which he applied to them at last impaired his health ; and in 1759 he found it necessary to quit India, and return to England with a very small fortune. In the course of a year after his arrival, he began . to digest the plan of his history of the military trans aCtions of the British nation in India, a work of which he had long conceived the idea; and finding that the original documents which he had obtained would require considerable enlargement and illus tration, he investigated with sedulous industry and diligence every source from whence information could be derived. By these means he procured a great mass of materials, of which a small part only had previously been communicated to the public, and that in a garbled state, through the medium of partial .narratives. In arranging those materials, and in forming them into an historic composition, he was occupied upwards of two years. In 17611 the first volume of his history was published, and the reception it- met with was calculated to gratify his expedations of literary fame, though it did not reward his labours by a speedy sale. A s eco n d edi tion was not called for until 1775. To this volume he prefixed a concise historical dissertation on the M....shornmedan conquests and establishments in Hin dustan, comprising a review of the peculiar charac ter and customs of the alinda people. Having no acquaintance with the learned languages cf Asia, and therefore no access to some of the best authori ties on those important but complicated subjects, he was led into a few mistakes and misconceptions; which, however, are perfeCtly excuseable, as there did not exist, at the period he wrote, any transla tions from Asiatic writers into any European lan guage, relative to the political history and civil in stituticns of Hindustan. His account of the Hindus appears to have been principally derived from his own actual observations, and is in general so accu rate, and is written with .such clearness and sim plicity, that we consider it as better calculated to convey to European readers a distina idea of the sseneral character and habits of those people, than almost any of the more recent produdions on that subject. With respect to the early Malts:rimed:at conquests, his only guides were D'Herbels t, and Petit de-la-Croix ; and be is therefore, for the most part, correct, as far as relates to the Ghaznian and Tartar conquerors; but regarding the subsequent establishment of the Mogul dynasty, as well as the history of its progress, and the institutions of its most renowned princes, his account is sometimes erroneous, and often defettive. His history of the wars in the Carnatic, has not been more celebra ted than it deserves, for the faithfulness, impar tiality, and uniform accuracy of its narration. Having, by this publication, introduced himself to the world with so much advantage, he became solicitous to support and advance his literary repu tation, by storing his mind with a competent know - ledge of the ancient classics, which he knew to be essential, not only. to the cultivation of a pure taste, but to the attainment of eminence in literature. With this view he applied himself with his usual diligence to the study of the Greek language, whisl, he had almost forgotten, and which, in a few year , . he is said to have completely mastered. The truth.. tine which he thereby acquired strengthened his ha bits of thinking, in the same proportion that it in formed and polished his understanding, and his con versation, which had been always marked by strong sense, received additional vigour and vivacity. His company was therefore much solicited, and every day brought him new acquaintance. About this period (1769) his friend, Lord Clive, finally returned from India; but soon after his arri val a coolness arose between him and Orme, which terminated in the total dissolution of their friendshir, several years before his Lordship's death. Of the- cause of this disagreement we are not informed ; but it is lamentable to observe the friendship of such men as these perish like that of the most frivolous claaratlers. In 1770 he began to prepare the materials for the second volume of his history, which the Court cf Diroaors, with a just sense of ahautility of his writ ings, enabled him to amplify and corred, by giving TO THE RELIGIOUS WORLD.
