Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Punjaub Railway: A Selection From Official Correspondence Regarding the Introduction of Railways Into the Punjaub, With Map of Scinde and the Punjaub
But we are a people of slow perception in spite of all that may be said of our superiority. It is only when we are severely punished that we awaken from our lethargy.
The British Lion, terrible when once aroused, requires a good shaking before he can be awakened, but once up, his vigour is as great as ever. At present, however, months must elapse ere the punishment can be dealt out.
Prompt chastisement carries terror and fear with it, and nu hinges the plans of the conspirators, whereas, delay in punishing the guilty, gives them confidence and adds to their strength.
