Indian Scientists

It was about the year 1848. There was a young lad of fourteen or fifteen whose poverty and merit had secured for him a free-scholarship in the Hare School, Calcutta. He had an infinite thirst for knowledge and truth, and this inclined him to the study of scientific books. One day, while reading Milner's. Tour through Creation, he came across the discovery of Sir William Herschell—that the sun was no fixed body in space; but, with his planets and satellites, was in motion and probably around some larger sun.
