" TO THE HONOURABLE, TILE COURT OF DIRECTORS OF THE

EAST INDIA COMPANY.
WO, the undersigned Proprietors of India Stock, duly quali-
fied, request that a Court of Proprietors may soon be called, to
Which it is our intention to submit the following Propositions :---
" let. To deliberate on the present State of Oriental Educe-
*ion, connected with the absolute necessity for the whole of the
Company's Servants in Hindoostan to acquire at least some collo-
quial knowledge of its popular tongue.
Qd. To determine whether the elementary acquisition of
Hindoostanee in this country be not indispeneible to Candidates for
°Mein' appointments previous to their nomination by the Court
of Directors, in order so far to secure the future good Government
of British India, and the durable prosperity of that vast Empire.
" 3d. To decide also on the propriety of the proposed preli-
minary qualification for Free Merchants, Marines, and others, be-
granting them a licence to reside among a hundred millions
of Native Subjects, in daily contact with those European Inha-
bitants, who, in general, know nothing of the Hindoostanee, and
consequently may injuriously impede through the multifarious
transactions of public or private life, not only the local Autho-
rities, but the common weal of the People and State.
" 4th. For a Copy of the Regulations issued by_ the Court of
Directors, relative to the public examinations at home and abroad
of persons intended for the Company's service in India, on their
olpective acquirement* as Oriental Scholars, with the view
securing efficient servants- for the effectual management of
numerous important affairs in o'er extensive and extending Do-
tr'ains in the East.
" 6th. To compare the real expense of the two systems of
Oriental tuition existing here since 1818, with the notorious dis-
proportionate results of each ; the total charge of one mode of
Oriental Instruction alone having amounted to 64,0001. for 560
Students, while that of the other was only 4,0001. for communi-
cating similar information to 1600 Pupils at the Hindoostanee and
Persian Lecture Rooms in London, many of whom are now not
only very useful Interpreters, &c., but are able and ready to exe-•
cute other responsible functions in the East Indian Service.
" 6th. To recommend the adoption of some plan here for the
immediate encouragentent of appropriate military education andOri-
!nal literature,with colloquial proficiency among theKing'sofficers,
the Company's Cavalry and Infantry Cadets, &e. to the serious atten-
'lon of the executive Court, which has done nothing yet to enable
those youths to proceed hence as Officers, or Linguists, to India,
Well qualified to command numerous bodies of brave men, by
:peaking the. most current local dialect, and being, at the same
}:nle, as well instructed as the Engineer and Artillery Students
aye long been, at Addiscombe, in those arts of war and tactical
exec long
inseparable from the due performance of their respective
duties in the Indian Army,"
