Art. XXV.—Supplement to a paper “On the Duty which Mohammedans in British India owe, on the Principles of their own Law, to the Government of the Country.”

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 March 2011

Extract

When the paper was read at a meeting of the Royal Asiatic Society, some exceptions were taken to it by Lord Stanley of Alderley. A report of these has been added to the report of the paper in the pages of the Society's Journal, and may possibly give occasion for doubt on a subject which I think of much importance to Mohammedans in British India and even of some to the Government itself. I therefore propose to answer the exceptions in detail and at some length. But it seems necessary, for the better understanding of them, that I should first state briefly the principles on which the argument of the paper was founded.
