u TO THE HONOURABLE Tile COURT OF LUBEC:TORS OF THE

EAST INDIA COMPANY.
" We, the undersigned Proprietors of India Stock. duly quali-
fied, request that a Court of Pro!...ietors may soon be called, to
which it is our intention to submit the following Propositions
" Ist. To deliberate on the present State of Oriental Educa-
tion, connected with the absolute necessity fur tlu whole of the
Company's Servants in Hindoostan to acquire at least some collo-
quial knowledge of its popular tongue.
" 2d. To determine whether the elementary acquisition of
Rindoostanee in this country be not indispensible to Candidates for
official appointments previous to their nomination by the Court
of Directors, in order so far to secure the future good Government
0f 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-
for
of e granting them a licence to reside among a hundred millions
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.
1' 4th. For a Copy of the Regulations issued by the Court of
birectors, relative to the public examinations at home and abroad
°f Persons intended for the Company's service in India, on their
respective acquirements as Oriental Scholars, with the view
of securing efficient servants for the effectual management of
numerous important affairs in our extensive and extending Do-
Mains in the East.
'lsth. To compare the real expense of the two systems of
Oriental tuition existing here since ISIS, with the notorious die-
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 4,000/. 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 rueful 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
imme
it diate encouragement of appropriate military education and Ori-
entallerature,with colloquial proficiency among theKing'sofficers,
the e Company's Cavalry and Infintry Cadets, &c. to the serious atten-
tion 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
:speaking the most current local dialect, and being, at the same
as well instructed as the Engineer and Artillery Students
"" long been, at Addiscotnbe, in those arts of war and tactical
auercises inseparable from the due performance of their respective
tits in the Indian Army,"
