"^ Turner, who made an extensive tour through * "Indian Agriculture, " in Journal of Asiatic Society, Vol. III. , p. Loo. lOO WEALTH AND PROGRESS. Bengal in the last quarter of the eighteenth century, speaking of the cost of living among the common peo- ple, says : " The value of this can seldom amount to more than one penny a day, even allowing him to make his meal of two pounds of boiled rice, a due proportion of salt, oil, vegetables, fish and chili. "* " From the earliest period to which ou...r knowledge of India extends, " says Buckle, f " an immense ma- jority of the people, pinched by the most galling pov- erty, and just living from hand to mouth, always have remained in a state of stupid debasement.
