4 HI&TOKr OF THE SIKHS.
5 <ill distmcuvenqs^ End tiro now^ like other Pagan
6 and barbarous nations, victims to their evil pro¬
7 pensities, their morality is even below that of the
8 ■blood-fcliirsty Moslems, for they are guilty of crimes
9 revolting in the sight of God and man.
10 ,We have now brought to a conclusion this sketch
11 of the history of Nanuk; it will be seen that we
12 have availed ourselves of the writings of others,
13 but for the completion of such a work, the mate¬
14 rials are few and scanty. Were we to follow the
15 I unjabee authors in relating the life of Nanuk, the
16 incidents recorded would enable us to lay the
17 ground-work of a romance, but it would certainly
18 not deserve the name of history.
19 In tracing the lives of Nanuk’s eight successors,
20 it will not be necessary to enter into such minute
21 particulars as are given above, as they were strict
22 followers of Nanuk, inculcating his doctrine, and
23 making proselytes to his tenets. The ninth Gooroo
24 in descent from Nanuk deserves a more lengthened
25 consideration, as under him the simplicity of the
26 Sikhs was lost, and the nation, as already observed,
27 became a powerful and warlike people.
