For
As by sinister interest moral aptitude may be
affected and deteriorated, so, by prejudices, interest-begotten
or otherwise derived, may intellectual aptitude. In
any prejudices peculiar to the country in question, the foreigner,
by the supposition, has no share. From prejudices derived
from imbibed in his own foreign country, no danger to the foreign one in question can arise. In
none of these prejudices will those persons, from whom
alone the code of his framing can derive its binding force,
have any share.
The national prejudices — the erroneous preconceived opinions derived
from nationality — whatever they may be, which may have exercised an influence
more or less prejudicial on his work, will find ready prepared
for them, a check, composed of the prepossessions, reasonable
and erroneous together, of those on whom the work will
have to depend for the acceptance given to it; and at whose their
hands it will be not fail to the receive whatever any alterations which in
the name of amendments they may be pleased to make
in it. In
In the case where the draughtsman is a native, this check
useful as it can not but be admitted be deemed to be, has no place.
(a) When Miles' History of British India first came out, it
being understood that the author had never set foot in any part
of the country of which he gave the history — "What instruction can be
from this book by any of us who have or lived there was
a question generally used It had long made its appearance, before
the acknowledgements became generally that no man who had never been
there possessed so clear, correct, so extensive a conception of the state and
history
of that country is, it
b who had
never set foot on any
part of it.
