Robert sat on the edge of the table laughing over his stories of French Orientalists, or Roman cardinals, or modern Greek professors, enjoying the impartial sarcasm which one of the greatest of savants was always ready to pour out upon his brethren of the craft. The squire, however, was never genial for a moment during the interview. He did not mention his book nor Elsmere's letter.
He left money for the Oriental Translation Fund, of which, it will be remembered, he was the founder, and his memory will always be honoured by Orientalists. A memorial of him the Arbuthnot Institute was opened at Shamley Green on 31st May 1905. Mr. Ashbee died in 1900, Dr. F. J. Steingass in January, 1903. After Burton's death, Mr.
He applied himself to the study of the most ancient MSS., and gradually became convinced that the alleged precept did not exist in the Vedas; though in the Laws of Manu it was quite distinct, and had been translated accordingly by T. Colebrooke and other Orientalists.
We were in Central India, the very nest of all kinds of superstitions, and were surrounded by Bhils. All along the Vindya ridge, from Yama, on the west of the "dead city," the country is thickly populated by this most daring, restless and superstitious of all the half-savage tribes of India. The Orientalists think that the naive Bhils comes from the Sanskrit root bhid, which means to separate.
First, the women, draped in black veils, who come daily to draw the precious water, have forsaken the fragile amphorae of baked earth, which had come to them from barbarous times and which the Orientalists grossly abused in their picture; and in their stead have taken to old tin oil-cans, placed at their disposal by the kindness of the big hotels.

None but those who are familiar with the subject can have any notion of the importance bestowed on this symbol by the Orientalists.
Trumbull, The Threshold Covenant, chapter vii. See p. 536. Or as a third dream. Haupt, pp. 45, 53. Attitude of despair. I.e., 'offspring of life. I adopt Delitzsch's reading of the name. At the recent Eleventh International Congress of Orientalists, Scheil presented a tablet dealing with the deluge narrative. See p. 507, note 1. "Client of Marduk."
Middleton, when Prince Achmed had concluded the tale of the episode of the two Orientalists and the faithless woman. "Do I understand that the person in this condition is asleep?" "It is not consistent with strict scientific accuracy to say the person is asleep," said the emir; "for the vital processes are entirely in abeyance and the subject is devoid of any evidence of life.
Bedient's "poise and general decency" disturbed the arrant man-hater she had become; she called him "fanatically idealistic," and was inclined to regard him at first as one of those smooth and finished Orientalists who have learned to use their intellects to a dangerous degree. But each time she talked with him, it seemed less possible to put a philosophical ticket upon him.
