The present minister has outdone his predecessors; and, as a minister of revenue, is far above my power of praise.
They testify that Hindu wives as a rule are mere household drudges, and, with very rare exceptions, are patterns of chastity, industry and conjugal fidelity, and they are the very best of mothers.
