Sir William Jones.
It is more than forty years since the writer, then a boy, was one day searching among the heavy works of a learned library in the country to find some entertaining reading for a summer afternoon.

It was a library rich in theology, in Greek and Latin classics, in French and Spanish literature, but contained little to amuse a child.

Led by some happy fortune, in turning over a pile of the "Monthly Anthology" his eye was attracted by the title of a play, "Sacontala,[30] or the Fatal Ring; an Indian Drama, translated from the original Sanskrit and Pracrit.

Calcutta, 1789," and reprinted in the Anthology in successive numbers.
