Excerpt from The Sankhya Aphorisms of Kapila: With Extracts From Vijna'na Bhiksus Commentary
At the time of his departure from India, in 1860, Dr. Ballantyne left with me the MS. of his revised translation of the Sankhya Aphorisms. He had already printed 32 pages, and I undertook to carry the remainder through the press for him; while he promised to send from England an Introduction on the Sankhya Philosophy. I must plead my many engagements at the time as an excuse for the misprints which unfortunately escaped me in the sheets under my charge. I subjoin a list of those which I have noticed. The serious omission at the foot of p. 32 must have arisen from some blunder of the printers, when the printing of the work recommenced after the author's departure. My friend Dr. F. E. Hall, who looked over Dr. Ballantyne's papers, informs me that he found nothing among them in any way relating to the promised Introduction. We must, therefore, be content with the bare translation as it stands, and accept it as the last contribution to the cause of Sanskrit literature from one, of whom, in spite of his occasional hasty judgments and inaccuracies, British India has good reason to be proud.
