Rammohun Rag and Edinburgh Afa , ? ¦ .- « . . . gazine ^ . ' \[\ : \^ Vi . , ' fAs every thing relatfeif to RaBw * roohttaRoy is interesting to « nr leaders , we extract from the BdiiibtiFgh Magazine ( Constable ' s ) for September , the following' account of him ,
drawn tip apparently \ vf a personal friend . Some * parts of tliis eonHtimni ^ cation contain only what hfas beef * already before the public in our pages * but as it bears an authentic shape , we judge it best to preserve it entire . The letter is followed in the
Edinburgh Magazine by some remarks which we cannot but regard as discreditable to the editors of that work . So much inconsistency and uflaoqnaintednesa with the stibjeefc Is rarely to be met with in any one paper in any magazine of the present day ^ The writer first states his opinion that
such persons as Rammohun Roy ** are tite imi ^ appropriate , if not the otAf instrtitiae ^ t */* by wiifeh Christianity can be introduced into IncBa ; ami thee he ex ^ re ^ ses his d eep regre t that the reformer * ' in his eagerness ^ to fly to the greatest possible distance from idolatry , shoald have passed ittto the opposite extreme , aad embraced UnitaFianism .
