RAJPUTS AND THE HISTORY OF RAJPUTANA. d ( J 



people of other faiths than their own. And lastly occupation, 

 in peace as well as in war, of a manly race as afforded by the 

 amount of game and the numerous preserves, without any great 

 pressure from unrighteous forest laws, which could not press in 

 any case very seriously when most of the people did not require 

 game for use as food. 



The very failures in ensuring absolute success prove, I think, 

 that, on the whole, these conclusions are correct, but, if there 

 were not justice and manly strength, none of the causes which 

 I have enumerated would have been of any avail, and so I 

 would end my paper with the motto of the famous prince Siwai 

 Jai Singh of Jaipur, " Yato dharm stato jai " — Where there 

 is virtue (or all the great virtues — whether religious or virile — 

 for such is the comprehensive meaning of the word dharm) 



" THERE IS THE VICTORY." 



Discussion. 



The Chairman remarked on the extreme interest of the paper ; 

 and thanked the author for the trouble he had taken in the 

 preparation both of the coloured pictures and the excellent lantern 

 slides of the beautiful buil dings and rich surroundings of the cities- 

 of Eajputana, and called for observations from those present. 



The Secretary wished to associate himself with the views of the 

 Chairman regarding the great interest of the paper and the beauty 

 of the illustrations. No one was better qualified than Colonel 

 Hendley for giving a true description of this splendid dependency 

 of the British Empire, owing to his long residence in Jeypore, his 

 intimate relations with the late and present Maharajah, who showed 

 his loyalty to the Crown by his presence at the Coronation of King- 

 Edward VII. It should also be recollected that Colonel Hendley 

 was instrumental in bringing together into one Museum at Jeypore 

 a large collection of Indian works of art, and of setting up a 

 meteorological observatory ; in all of which undertakings he had 

 the support of the Maharajah and of the British resident. He y 

 the Secretary, thought these were points which ought to be 

 mentioned on the present occasion. 



The Chairman, on behalf of the meeting, cordially thanked the 

 author for his most interesting paper, and the proceedings 

 terminated.
