CHARACTER OF ALIA BHYE._The Every-day Book and Table Book. v. 3 (of 3) Everlasting Calerdar of Popular Amusements, Sports, Pastimes, Ceremonies, Manners, Customs and Events, Incident to Each of the Three Hundred and Sixty-five Days, in past and Present Times; Forming a Complete History of the Year, Month, and Seasons, and a Perpetual Key to the Almanac

One of the purest and most exemplary monarchs that ever existed, a

female without vanity, a bigot without intolerance, possessed of a mind

imbued with the deepest superstition, yet receiving no impressions

except what promoted the happiness of those under its influence; a being

exercising in the most active and able manner despotic power, not merely

with sincere humility, but under the severest moral restraint that a

strict conscience can impose upon human action. And all this combined

with the greatest indulgence for the weakness and faults of others.[397]

[397] Sir John Malcolm’s Central India.
