The narrator of this discourse has made a noble attempt to know the intricacies of Tamil language, literature, and its customs and tradition. This little volume of Heathen morals and learning affords an additional illustration of the truth of the Apostle’s words that ‘the world by wisdom knew not God. There is no evidence that the art of writing was practiced before the deluge; but it is demonstrated that in many lands it was commenced very soon after that event. The acquisition of the language in which the remains of Tamil wisdom are preserved, is not easy task. Aptitude, genius, industry, perseverance, is necessary to the Tamil scholar. He, who brings them, in their manners and minds, to the knowledge of the followers of Christ, confers on them a benefit which it is not easy to estimate. ‘This is a spirit in man and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding’. The book is the product of extensive study of then Tamil wisdom and it is immensely good for readers and researchers in Tamil point view.

Edward Jewitt Robinson was a 19th-century Protestant missionary to British India. He is best known as one of the earliest translators of the Tirukkural into English. Robinson published a collection of ancient Tamil texts, including the Tirukkural, translated into English in 1873. The work was titled Tamil Wisdom. Facilitating the evangelical works of the missionaries like Constanzo Beschi, Ziegenbalg, and Percival, Robinson published an enlarged version of the work under the title Tales and Poems of South India in 1885.
