NUNDOCOMAR, a Rajah in Bengal, and head of the Bramins, who, in 1775, was condemned to an ignominious death by English laws newly introduced, in an English court of justice newly established, for a forgery charged to have been committed by him many years before. That he was guilty of the deed cannot be questioned; but there was surely something hard in condemning a man by an ex post facto law. He bore his fate with the utmost fortitude, in the full confidence that his soul would soon be reunited to the universal spirit whence it had sprung. See METAPHYSICS, Part III. Chap. IV. Of the Immortality of the Soul.
