“Was das Sanskrit-Studium selbst betrifft, so wird ueber den Nutzen desselben die Zeit entscheiden.  Portugiesen, Hollaender und Englaender haben lange Zeit jahraus, jahrein auf ihren grossen Schiffen die Schaetze Indiens nach Hause geschleppt; wir Deutsche hatten immer das Zusehen.  Aber die geistigen Schaetze Indiens sollen uns nicht entgehen.  Schlegel, Bopp, Humboldt, Frank u. s. w. sind unsere jetzigen Ostindienfahrer; Bonn und Muenchen werden gute Faktoreien sein.”
