(The following will, we hope, fully bear us out in what we have said regarding Dr. Peterson in our introduction or elsewhere. It unmistakably shows that Dr. Peterson had a hostile attitude towards Sayanacharya. He has fallen foul upon that most learned and venerable person in season and. out of season. In fact, he has not let slip any opportunity of attacking him right and left. In some places, he has even forgotten his position, totally neglected decency and used words which are quite uuworthy of a gentleman. Apart from the truth of his remarks, which we consider to be quite unjust, one might have expected a greater amount of common sense and a more scrupulous care about the use of words from such a refined Englishman as Dr. Peterson was reputed to be, especially as Englishman, as a rule, wish to be regarded by others as the most perfect specimens of humanity.)
(1) Sayana's attempt to make mean the sun here hardly deserves notice. Page 60.
