MOXBO, H.A, B.C.L., Actiog Director of Pablo Iustraction, 21&dras, to tae Chief Secretary to the Government of Madras, --No.B.B. 153, dated Madras, 2nd March 1894. I have the honour to submit the report of the Registrar of Books on the publications registered during the year 1893 under Act XXV of 1887. 2. The number of works registered during the year under review was 806, of which 612 were books and 164 periodicals, the corresponding figures for the year preceding being 082, 799, and 183. Of the registered publications, 596, or nearly 7+ per ceat., rere original pra. ictions, 143 republications and 67 translations. The position of registered publications in 393 was in every respect very nearly the same as that held by them in 1891, 29 will be seen rom the following comparative statements for the past five years : YBARU, Bootr &ad prwpblett.

It is gratifying to note that while the decrease of about 28 per cept, in the total number of registered works as followed by a correspondiog fall in tdo number copyrighted, the number of educational works stood at almost the 6920 Agure as 1a 1892, cis., 182 against 181.

Most of the works under this head are translation and adaptations of English books. Under art, the gradual growth of illustrated works fa girls' schools, home education classes and young children is noticeable. Works on phild sophy and travel continue to be as few as ever. The increase under biography is noteworth as indicating the gradual growth of a tendency in Native authors to recognise its value Under history, Dr. Oppert's work on the "Original Inhabitants of Bharata Varsa or India The number of published works under language continues to be almost th same as in the preceding year, and includes some very important and useful works in Sanser and Tamil. The following are works of importance : (1) The Vaijayanti of Yadavaprakasa Sanscrit lexicon with a Sanscrit-Englis vocabulary, edited by Dr. Oppert. (2) The grammar of Sakatayana, Volume I, edited by Dr. Oppert. (3) Tolkappiam Solladikaram, with commentary. (4) The Indian Penal Code, with amendments, notes, etc., by R. A.

KRISHNANA CHANIAR, Registrar of Books, to the Acting Direct of Publio Instruction, No. 17, dated Dacias, 11th February 1894, I have the honour to forward, for submission to Government, the usual report, togel with the prescribed statements, on the publications registered in the Madras Presidency un Act XXV of 1867 during the calendar year 1893.

·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893 3 1 2. The total number of publications received and catalogued during the year stands at a lower figure than that reached in 1892, which exceeded by so many as 176 works. Notbing bas bappened, so far as I am aware, to affect persistently the literary or publishing activity of the Presidency, and thereforg the decrease may be regarded as only temporary, caused partly by a sudden drop, during the latter half of the year, in the number of serial publications of ancient works Dewly edited with vernacular comment or paraphrase in monthly irrts, as well as in the number of annotated text-books of the University and periodicals due for the last quarter,--all owing perhaps to the fall in the exchange value of the rupee and the consequent rigo in the cost of imported paper and printing and binding materials, and partly by the effect of an adverse season on the limited resources and working power of native printers, and also to some extent by the strict enforcement of section 9 of Act X of 1890, according to which all reprints of original works without any changes have been exempted from registration, and have therefore been rigorously excluded from the quarterly catalogues. 3. The number of woiks actually registered during the year of report was 806, wbich may be divided into two great groups and compared with the corresponding figure for the preceding year, thus,- 2893. Booba and pamphleta 799 Periodicals 16. 183 Totat 982 1802. 6:12 I 806 4. The following is a re-classification of the registered publications with reference to 7 anguages under three other heads :- DISCRIPTION OF WOEL. Booke pubilebed Booke pablished in 1. Earlis Rod the vernacular Bouke padded Other (Laropena) Lang Paket spokea 10 classical lacgas ges 19 tbe ladian laoganger the Province. Boots publbed in more than ona language.

The number of bi-lingual and tri-lingual works involving especially Tamil and Telugu matter, which used to le steadily progressive, *having gone back this year for reasons already stated, it is best to say very little just now as to bow soon the rate of production at the native presses will become more regular and certain to recover the ground lost during the latter balf of the period of report, 5. The detaila of each language and its combinations with one or more of the other languages spoken in this part of India exhibited according to the subject matter of the publications, being given in the several statements appended to this report, I shall now procced ouotice briefly such works as are of any importance in each subject. Art.--The only works in English under this head are a "Free-hand Drawing Book " containing a graduated series of over 150 figures for the use of art schools, and a lecture on the 1 hurch organ and harmonium, their preservation and treatment, with explanations of technical 28 Cerme employed and hints for the accompaniment of a verse or byma, the object of the lecture being to awaken an intelligent interest in such musical instruments as are used by church organists and the clergy. There are two Tamil books op gymnastics and drill and dumb-bell exercises intended for schools, and a manual of forestry in Tamil in two parts designed to teach the principles of forestry to the officials and watchinen of the Forest Department, and zemindara and other obers of forest estates in Southern India. There appears also in this group another rare publicatioa of antiquarian interest not printed beretofore, piz., a small Sauscrit book in verse on the art of bailding, with a Malayalam version of each stanza, la connection with the subject of art, I day refer to wbat is called book-illustration, concercia: which many are interested as a means of bettering the general character of the current litera. ture of the country, and children's books in particular. The gradual growth of illustrated Jabooks indicates the desire of authors, publisbers, and printers to introduce wood-cuta or htbo 181 aphis sketches at intervals, and is an important feature of the publications of recent years 18 18 Pot perhaps noticed by the casual observer. Though wbat is being done in the direction of 1600k-illustration is not remarkable for any starthing reform, yet the beginning mada 50480 how an appreciation of the fact that pictonal illustrations are a kind of translation of mere 1b ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893. verbal descriptions of the author. It is not uncommon to bear printers say that they must live and do the work which will immediately buy their daily bread, but there is a great and unlimited field in India for artists if they can put themselves into an alliance with authors. This relation between art and literature, if fairly established, is sure to prove a new means of espression helpful to both, and useful to the cause of senso education which has been sadly veglected, but which is absolutely necessary in the opinion of all thoughtful cducationists who think that much more reality must be constantly aimed at in the teaching in our public schools or home education work tban has been done as yet, iv order to educate the eye and other seuses and to train the faculty of observation, Biography. Of the biographical works, the value of which is not yet adequately recognised by dative authors, the verpacular works worthy of mention are an enlarged edition of the biographies of Telugu poets, and a brief but an appreciative and abundantly illustrated account rendered into Telugu from the Christian Literature Society's English edition of the "Life of the Queen-Empress and of her Family," with traits of character and lessons from her life, and a sketch of the progress made in Indin during Her Majesty's reign ; and the instructive biography of General Garfield in Telugu. Of the English biographics, the accounts of Luther and William Carey, and " Some noted Indians of Modern Times," being a collection of twenty five biographical sketches of Hindu statesmen, religious and social reformers, philanthropists, educationists, lawyers, journalists and herocs of industry, are important publications supplying model lines for imitation by the rising generation. Drama.Tuder the head of dramatic literature, fewer works aro recorded this year than in the past, and the following seem to be prominent amoug the new publications :-Au illustraled work on the infuence of chaste and good women, got up in Tamil by a literary society in Bangalore; an entertaining laluatta publication on the boyhood of Krishna; and also two DIalayalam plays based on uo puranic legends like the usual run of patiso dramas, The first of these is a tragedy in Malayalam written in prose and verse and Lased on the story of a Brahmin in a choultry or wayside ion who was dismissed on a charge of immoral conduct with a lady of the king's palace in accordance with the suggestion of the commander of the urmy, who was the king's brother, but against whom the choultry Brabmiu bore a grudge. The plot describes bow a rumour was set afloat that the General carried on an illicit intercourse with the queen, how the king was poisoned and how the innocent qucen was suspected of the foul deed ; and the whole terminates with the sad end of all the cbaracters when the truth was out at last. The other is a comic piece entitled " The Clod of Earth," based on the fictitious alliance of a clod of earth with his friendly leaf of the banyau tree, and how the two travelled on a pilgrimage to Benares on the distinct promise that the former would protect the latter from the fury of the wind, and that the latter would shelter the former from rain. A heavy storn, however, overtakes them, ending with the complete destruction of the clod of earth and the transport of the leaf by the wind to a distant region. The object of the whole seems to be an indirect attack against numerous dramatic authors and novel writers who have recently sprung up in Malabar. The other Malayalam plays are based on the puranas and written after Sanscrit models; aud a Tamil translation of Shakespeare's - Midsummer Nights' Dream also appears in this group, side by side with a Telugu translation of an allegorical and philosophical play in Sanscrit called the Prahodha Chandrodaya, or " The rise of the Moon of True Intelligence or Knowledge," abounding in moral avd religious truths. Fiction.-One of the English works under this hend is "A Tale of Monte Carlo," a dovelette intended for railway travellers and other readers, in which scene follows scene quickly, and the whole ends with the reflection that man, forgetting that death and sorrow are absolutely certain, counts upon the uncertain and accepts the problematical without hesitation. The other is Mr. Russell's collection of some teu of the current fables and stories told by an Indian mother and serving as representative of a very large class of oriental fiction amusing and instructive to English-speaking children as trell as to Indian children. The prominent Verpacular books are “The Picture Stories of Noble Women ”in Tamil,“ Choice Stories and Pictures "in Telugu, the Tamil translation of the “Merchant of Venice” from Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare, a Malayalam translation of Shakespeare's “ Winter's Tale," and an adaptation in the same language of the “Comedy of Errors," " Kadha Ratnavali," a collection of tales in Tamil and Telugu rendered from the Arabian Nights and several other sources; Rao Bahadur Ananda Charlu's new series of Indian Legends under the title of “ Chamatkára Taraugini," the story of Chandrabasa aud a novelette by another pleader in the Northern Circars, both in Telugu. History. There are a few school-books as usual under this head, but the attention of the reader is arrested by some important works, of which the most interesting is Dr. Gustav Oppert's a ·ICELICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IX 193. G monumental work on the "Original inlatiladus of Bharata ranna, (India," treating of Indian becay in support of philolozical videoco respecting the non-Aryan Gonuda. and Drasi.

·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND BLGISTERED IN 1893. 7 issuch under the patronage of the Venkatagin Chief. A series of Telugu classic poems has beca comincaced, of which the old poem Rxlari Parinaganu on the marriage of Rukmani and Krishna by Timma Kavi forms the first number, side by side with a serial publication called the Apudnta Grandha Chintamani reprinting raro Telnga poems, the Itibása Manjari and Vidzs Vipodini, two similar sarial pablications in Tamil, sod the standard poems named tha Kası Klaquam and Peria Puranam with Tamil commentary. Of the productions of the dew geperation of poets, the following way be mcational:-Bilvesrariyamu inculsating the elementa of Sankhya philosophy, Stri Nitichaadnika containing epigrammatic stanzu intended to convey instruction on caoral subjects, together with verses in praise of llis Royal liigbness tho Prince of Wales and the Royal Jubilec of the Queen-Empress with their portraits, 4 metrical version of Parnell's llermit in Sanscrit, a Malayalam poom on the sad sfory of the truthful king Ilarishchandra, duarita Satakan, a love poem ascribed to Sankarachariar with a Malayalam translation aud a brief introdaction and notes by Kerala Varma Koil Tambiran of Travan. core, and, lastis, tha Ilindustani poetical selections, otio eatitled "lluandgo-ul-Hari >> desenbing the past and present condition of the Juhammsians and giving then advice and inttruction to ensure their progress, and the other "Gulzari Ibrahim" being ethical selec. tions from Arabic, Persian and llindustani poetsa l'olitics --Good books on political subjects are generally karco in this part of India. During the fear of report, lowerer, public attention was arrested by a few noleworthy works, the most important of thich is tho." Jemorandum of the Progress of the Madras Presidency during the last forty years of British Administration," by Dewan Bahadur Srinivasa Raghavai. yangar, C.I.E., containing a full and useful review of the work of each department of Garn crnment, with mars and statistics and of the improvements elected already or still required 10 the material condition of the people, with several suggestions alording food for serious thought, Tho clection of Mr. Dadabhai Naoraji as the first Indian Member of the Imperial Parliament, the resolution of Jr. II. Paul regarding simultaneous examinations for the Civil Service both in Iodia and England, and the agitation respecting the improvement of the condition of the Mairos Parish which often Gud cxpression in public journals resulted in the production of a few pamphleta of a controversial character or something moro permanent than newspaper articles, Another work particularly interesting to the chiefs and people of Malabar and useful to the futuro historian is a collection of treatice and engagements and otber papers of importance relating to tha carlicst settlement of the English on the Malabar const, and forms the third volume of tbo completo texts of such documcats commenced in 1881, the glossary anoarod being a valuable guide to tbe seader poing through the intricacies of the Portuguese and English spelling of Iodian names and terms. Philosophy and Religion -Plilasopby in the European scose in almost unknown, and is berefore, the of the total I--- Iliada Stabatondan Christian Brahio and Theosophie 223 g 37 6 Тота 280 Under Ilinduism, the pablication of redia works, such as the Krishna Yajus Samlita with Padavithaga, published in parts, the puranio legends hke those on the sacred waters of the Cauvery and Penpat, and ritualistic works and other Satiscrit treatises and tracts bearing on Ilinda religious philosophy propounded by Ramanuja Chariat and Sankara Clariar oa tlie advaita system and other llindu doctrines of the buman soul and the divino spirit, still continues in large numbers and indicates the literary activity of the orthodor Hindu. As I observed last year, the desiro to study and to make the best use of the Bhagavalgıle, which has the riog of the best philosophy of the Iliadu school, is growing as proved by the gues of a serial publication called " Dhágavatgila," " Bláshyarika Chandrila" and other editions oE this "Sacred Lay" approached from different standpoints; aod one of them, in the form of a series of lectures in English under the title of Some thoughts on Bhagut algata, shows that tho Hiodu revivalists of the codeerative clasa are bestowiog some attentiou on this philosophic work and the commentaries thereon as containing the highest ideas of the Hindu religion and morality. The Andhra Sarilata, Part 11, je a vedantic work sith Telugu comment oa polemical divinity or theological criticism, and is a continuation of the work begun ia the year 1591. The ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1803. S Véda Védanta Nirnaya in Sanscrit prose is also a new tract of this class printed in the Devanagiri character. The Sútra Dipika which throws light on the Bralıma Sutra of Véda Vyása? from the standpoint of the Madhva school, Nyása Dasaka containing the hitherto unpublished text of the Vaishnava plan of salvation, stated concisely but clearly by Védánta Désika with a Tamil introduction and paraphrase, Jivakárunya Olukkam or tracts in Tamil prose against the cruel destruction of animals for man's food and in favour of kindness to animals when they are hungry, Ácbárakovai by one of the Madura Sangam poets on various rules of conduct for man, published with a paraphrase of each stanza, are also worthy of notice. Visva Brahama Purinare represents in serial parts the creed of the goldsmiths and other artisans of this part of the country. The new additions of the Sanscrit and Telugu Malá Bhárata, Rámáyana and Sri Bhagavata have advanced by several parts, while a prose 'version in Telugu of Valmiki's Ramayana has been completed in thrce volumes. Sanmanoranjini is a new serial edition of the Rámáyana started in Sanscrit with Tamil and Telugu paraphrase and abstract of each stanza, and is steadily advancing through the Bálakánda, while Kérala Vilásam is a Sanscrit poem on the greatness of the Kérala or Parasuráma's land by Vikrama Rajah in Devanagiri, As a class-book for the higher furms of Elindu schools may be mentioned thc Iutroductory Text-book of Hindu Theology and Ethics in English and Sanscrit, which is intended also for the ase of the general reader in other parts of the world. But Hindu scholars and writers of various creeds who were not fond of airing their opinions in the form of pamphlets now secm to contribute equally to the following religious periodicals or serial publications of the orthodox . class :--- Brahma Vidyá Patrika in Sanscrit avd Tamil: Advaita Manjari in Sanscrit and Devanagiri. Satyasamvardhani in English and Telugu. Sri Raja Yogi in Telugu and English. Sivabbakti Chandrika in Sanscrit and Tamil. Sundarsana in Canarese. The Hindu revivalists of the liberal class have not published much beyond the two accounts in Telugu of Chaitavya and other religious reformers of Bengal who iguored caste distinctions and whose views therefore are acceptable to the Brahmos, and the “ Brahma Padya Kalpa: kamu," a tract in Telugu verse for the use of the South Indian Bralmo Samaj. Although most of the Christian publications are tracts and leaflets, yet the following, vis., the Tamil translation of the Old Testament, Part 1, brought out by the Lutheran Mission, a Church History of the rise and progress of Religion in Tamil, an account of St. Augustine, with an introductory description in English of the state of religion in Europe fiftceu centuries ago, aud a collection of papers on the National Church of India in English urging the development of the Christian Religion in South Iudia, especially in sympathy with national sentiments and aspi. rations, are worthy of mention. The “ Torward," a monthly jouroal in English of missionary progress and record of the London Missionary Society's work, and “ Almopalari” in Blalay- ·alam by the Basel Alission, are among the new organs of the Christian community. There are also four numbers of the "Theosophist” and two anti-Christian tracts in this collection along with a set of Christian tracts originally written in Bengali and now translated into English in order to bring Christian truth to bear upon the English-speaking dluhammadaus, besides the tenth number of the Hindu Reformer. Muhammadanism is represented by very few works this year, and only two of them are worthy of mention,--the first, Nasi Katé as-khuil Raftagant, is a Hindustani publication, being a misture of religious philosophy and morality containing wholesome instruction and advice; and the next is a Telugu tract inteuded evidently for Mubammadan converts in the Teluga country to teach them the fundamental doctrines of Islam, As a literary curiosity may also be mentioued a pictorial sheet with Arabic and Tamil letterpress, noticing the incidents which are to occur on the day of judgment. Science, Mathematical.- Under this head there is an ingeniously constructed book in English to aid the teachipg of Geometry in schools and colleges and affording mathematical recreation to students by a series of exercises in paper-folding. In Tamil a new ephemeris showing the weekly and monthly notation with columns stating the dates of the English and Tamil year for about a century from 1807 A.D. is worthy of mention, while the rest are designed for school use and are deserving of no special notice. Science, Natural. --There are three works in English, ove entitled “Curious Little People or the Insects," the next containing useful descriptious of the Hesperüdü or of 230 species of butterlies to be found in India, Burma and Ceylon bitherto scattered over a large number of books and periodicals not easily available, and the other on the revival of astrological studies treating of the higher branches of astrology as a practical science to enable all educated ·PODLICATIONS ISSUED ASD BEGISTERED IN 1-5. 0 Hindus to undentand the planetary jpCacocks on the physical and intellectas feculianties of man and on his success or failure in life, and plesaliagillustratire horoscopes from all parts of the globe from which to draw inſercaces and prediction, and to run the attention of scicatric mea to watch the influcaco of planeta on the fortunes of nations so well as of iodinduala.

This large increase is attuibutalle, in a measure, to the gradual progress that is being made by the rernacular literature both in quantity and quality, and partly to the receipt of a large number of boobs and periodicals for some previous years which were pot delivered in time for regis. tration by their printers, the latter result being brought about by the request made in p213- graph of the Gorerom-nt Resolatioo, General Department, No. 3201, dated 8th September 1893, to the Collectors of the several districts to issue a notice sarning the printers that, if the works printed at their presses were not delivered to the Collectors within the pescnbed time, they would become liable to the recalty prescribed by law, and to the requests now and then made to some of the Collectors by this office in the cases of books and reriodicale chick were discovered not to have Leen received in time fur registration.

ENGLISH, 8. Biography.--The Psoteric She-the late Jadarre Blavatsky is a brief sketch of the career of the founder of the Theosophical Society in New York and author of " Isis Unveiled " and some other words. She declared that the object of the Society was to form a nucleus " for a universal brotherhood, the study of apcieut and other religions and sciences, and the zrestrgation of the physical and recondite law, affecting man and nature.” Madare Blavatsky wils believed uy llor followers to have been eodowed with abnormal psychic powers. The sketch states that the aim and object of her life were to strike off the sbackles forged ly priestcraft for the mind of man; she wished all men to know that they are God in fact, and tbat as men they must bear the burden of their own 6108, for no one else can do it; berce she brought forward to the West the old Eastern doctrines of Karma and Re-locarnation," The sketch is a reprint from the Sun of 26th September 1892, a daily paper published at New York, U. S, America, and has appended to it an article entitled "The Theosophical Society and II. P. Blavatsky," written by Appie Berant, F.T.S, a reprint from the Lucifer of December 1890. The late 1r.

He also took a leading part in most of the philanthropic and progressure movements started at Bombay during more than the last twenty-five years, and was a highly respected and much honoured well-known citizen of Bombay The whole city of Bombay deplored his loss, as is to be seen from the numerous abitury notices in the local press, English and vernacular, and from the proceedings of the public meeting in the Town Hall, of the meeting of representative women, of the meeting of cricketers, and of the meeting for the distribution of prizes at the Bbíháyi Bengáli Female School, which form a large portrop of the sketch The Rev. Náráyan Steraddri, D.D., late of Iding, Nitán's Domenton, is a brief account of the life of a Brábmin convert to Christianty who was baptised in 1813, and whose baptism produced great sensation at the time among the Bráðnine and the hgber classes of the Hindus. Mr. Sheshádı, afterwards attended the theology .ti. The Free Church Iustitution, of which be was a student, in order to qual of a preacher.

The “Fair Excliange” sas that tho colonel gave his daughter in Brrriage to a licutenant of his regimcut, on the latter permitting his willowed mother to marry the colonel. The tale is superior to the general run of works ou fiction that at rare intervals appear in this Presidency, and is very pleasant and entertaining reading, sustaining the reader's intercet up to the last.

Miscellaneous.Under this licad there are several instructive and interesting works. The Tournal of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1892, well sustains the reputation of its predecessors by presenting several interesting contributions by distinguished scholars, such as courtship in Ancient India, Carlyle's hitherto unpublished lectures on the periods of European culturo. Subandhu and Kumárila, the Divine Comudy of Dante and the Virát Námch of Ardái Viráf, a first century account of the birth of Buddha, etc., etc. The Orion of Researches into the Antiquity of the Vedas by a graduate of the Bombay University is a highly interesting work. It states that "the traditions recorded in the Big Veda unmistakcably point to a period not later than 4000 B.C., when the vernal equinox was in Orion, or, in other words, when the Dog-star (or the Dog as we lave it in the Rig Veda) commenced tlic cquinoctial year.” Several Vedic texts and legends are cited in support of the position, and an attempt is wade to show that these legends are corroborated by the legeaus anil traditions of Irán and Greece.

It need not be said that the adaptations of Shakespeare's dramas are, as literary works, the best among the whole lot, which with the exception of two dramas on popular Paránic legends, are ordinary productions deserving no notice in this place. The tiso Puránic dramas have particular claims to notice. Premánand's Roshadarshisú Sutyábhámášhgán, or the drama describing the anger shown by Satyabhámá, by Prenánand, dramatises the popular legend in the lahábhárat Purán about the meeting of the god Krishna rith the Princess Satyabhámá and his marriage with her, about Satyabháwá baing rery angry with her spouse for presenting a flower of the coral tree (Párijátaka) that gres in Indra's hearan to the co-rife Rakhmini, about Satyabhámá's insisting upon the tree itself being brought and planted in the yard of her house, and Krishaa's doing the same to please her. This drama seems to be the oldest, one in the Gujaráti language, baing 200 years old, and shors that little change has taken place in this language siuce the last two hundred years. Premánaid's Fánchóli Prasánnákhyána, or the drama of the propitiation of the Princess Páncháli by Premánand, dramatises another popular legend in the Jalábharat Purán, in which Pánekáli, another name of Princess Draupadi, 3 ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1993. 31 asks Bhima, one of her five husbands, the Pándara princes, to obtain for her the golden lotus to be found on the Gandhamádan mountain. Bhima sets out in search of the lotus, and in his absence Yuddhisthira, Nakul, Sabadeya and Draupadi (Arjuna being in Indra's heaven at the time) are being carried away by a demaon, when Bhima returns and effects tbeir release, killing the demon This syork by the same author also proves the same tlung, that the Gujarati language has updërgone little change within the last two bandred years. Both troiks are copiously annotated and possess some literary merit. For these works, as well as for several others in Marathi and Gujaráti, the public bare to thank the liberal patronage ex. tended by His Highness the Gáekwád to the cultivation and improvement of these languages. Fiction.-Of the 32 rorks under this bead, so maoy as 22, or two-thirds, are either translations or adaptations of English tales; 1 18 on & social evil among the Pársis, l 18 a historical tale; 2 are tales on what may be called oriental subjects, namely, 1 on luck, whose destinies, the writer wants to shon, cannot be altered as is generally believed among the oriental nations, and another is a collection of tales related by an Irdian jay to a newly-married girl, whose husband was absent in a foreiga country on commercial business, to while away her time, the tales being full of marvellous and miraculous events) 2 are tales about the unflincbing devotion of Indian wives to their husbards, and their bravely facing every sort of danger to protect their chastity; 2 are popular tales for children, that have undergone namerous editions ; 1 18 a tale in illustration of the Gujarati saying or proverb, “The relatives are selfish ;' mother alone is unselfish, a sister will iefuse to recognise a penniless brother, a friend is sure to lend help in need (a friend in need is a friend indeed), wealth ought to be erer 10 possession (possession is pine points of the law), wife's company is not to be parted with, knowledge ought to be ever fresla; the four substantive sayings, namely, reflection should precede utterance, a portion of the time allotted for sleep sboald be spent in wakefulness, treat the enemies with courtesy, and never submit to wrath or lust and practise fourteen virtues (that are described at length)." The tale itself is ordinary. One 13 a short story relating the sad end of a tyrannical prince and his vicious minister, conveying a bint to tyrannical rulers to beware of practising oppression on their innocent subjects. Among the translated works are *Ular from Alanchester by Dick Doporan; Gaboriou's sensational novel entitled Flow Lerouge, Part I; same author's sensational Dorel entitled Downward path or the catastrophe ; Miss Braddon's Trail of the Serpent ; Colonel DIeadows Taylor's Tippoo Sultan, G.

Málats and Jadhav 18 a version, in prose, of the well-known Sanscrit drama of Málati and Mádbav by Bhavabhuti, the action of the plot being dramatic and its puutures of domestic life and manners being valuable, though there is a free mixture of the preternatural in the plot. This drama, hike some others, shows that Hinduism and Buddhism coexisted and were tolerant of each other in India till the end of the eighth century of the Christian era. Tira; Johan, a tale in Bengalee, relates how a person did justice to a friend by delivering orer to him the property of which his father bad Leen unjustly deprived by the former's father. Mani and Johan relates the adrentures of honest brother Joban, his virtuous sister Manı, and the faitbless wife of the brother, who, as tell as the persecutors of Mani, met 2 sad fate as they deserved. This tale appears to have a large leasening of Fame English tale.

The practice is of old standing, and latterly the grown-up boys have taken over the work from their parents if they be living.

·. PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893. 43 whether in Englisb, or Maráthi or Gujarati, are generally few. The biographies are of Indian celebrities or local magnates, in English; of historical personages, Indian or European, local celebrities or of saints in Marathi and Gujarati. In the class Drama there is generally hardly any original work in English. Almost all works in this class are annotated editions of re. nowned English dramatists that are taught in schuols and colleges. In Marathi and Gujarati diamas the subjects most frequently treated are the Paranie legends, from the large mass of which the selections are generally well made, Marátha and Rájput bravery, valour, and other yn tues of a military people, sincere love and usbounded and unswerving devotion of married pairs, condemnation of evil social customs, as child-marriage, enforced widowhood, marriage of old and decrepit men with young girls, polygamy, adaptations or sometimes tranea lations of English dramas by renowned authors, and at times condemnation of reformers and their practices by orthodoxy. Among the large number of productions, adaptations or rather translations are, it need not be said, only the test productions. In English, original works on fiction are rare, appearing only at long inteivals. "TTO Widows ? etsus Two Majors” that appeared last year and "A Fair Exchange-a Deccab Tale," registered this year both by “Nemo", may be classed among the best productions. In Maráth and Gujaráta fiction the subjects generally atten upon are those appropiated for drama, and adaptations or trapslations of English novels generally by reputed authors. It may, however, he stated that 11 y tavour of His Highness the Gáekwad some valuable additious have been made to the Marathi and Gujarati literature in history and some other sobjects. Some of these works are translations Ly University graduates, who have been able to contribute to vernacular bterature this year a larger portion than their annual share, which has been glowing every year. This year more than one hundred works have been either written or translated or edited by the graduates. It seems that as the graduates, as a class, grow older in age and experience, and better able to afford leisure and money, their contribution to their verpacalars increases I should think that a soriety for the promotion and improvement of vernacula, literature, something on the plan of the Christian Tract and Book Society, would achieve more than any other plan for the same object. University graduates, who have at present one difficulty or another for the preparation and publication of vernacular books, would then come forward in larger numbers, and a bealthy competition would begin, to the great benefit of the public. In Law, annotated editions of existing Acts or Civil and Criminal Procedure Codes alone generally appear. In Medicine, in English, a good work on Indian drugs at times appears, and other works are generally small tracts on solitary medical subjects. In Marathi and Gujarátı, reprints of tracts and a new work at times appear on popular Aryan melicine, and often a good work on popularised European medical subjects is published. Under the most comprehensive class, Biscellaneout, are to be found Puránic legendary stories, Christian missionary tracts, tracts conveying moral instruction to children, moral tales, topograpbical description of places, lectures delivered at public meetings and diverse other subjects; and among these some valuable works are found every year in English, Marathi and Gujaráti, and they will be found particularly noticed in every annual report. In English the poetical works are reprinta of productions by well-known poets taught in schools and colleges, duly annotated. In Marathi and Gujaráti most of the poetical works are of old authors either on Purápic legends and devotional subjects, which may not inappropriately be called religious poetry. In Politics very few works appear, the subject of Indian politics being left to the almost exclusive care of vernacular newspapers. It is, however, at times treated in pablic lectures, which sometimes afterwarda appear in a permanent form. This year one or to good books on this subject bave appeared. Io Philosophy, works on Vedantism, the popular pantheistic creed of the Hindus of the present day, which explains the universe synthetically as a development from one principle, are published every year. Reprints of works on other systems of Hindu philosophy also appear in Sansknt, but at long intervals in any of the vernaculars. Few works of festern philosophy even as reprints appear in English. In Mathematical, Blechanical, Natural and other Sciences, school manuals are generally published, Io the clase of Voyager and Travels very few works are printed, Sometimes works on Indian travels and accounts of visits to Hindu holy places are to be met with. An intelligent account of a visit to England by a Hindu has been published this year in Marathi. Hindi.-A small number of books are printed in this language compared to the large number of Hindi-speaking population in the Presidency, but it is believed tbat large supplies of Hindi books published in Upper India, which are valued on account of the purity of language, cheap price, and variety of subjects, are 02 ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893. imported. Urdu. In this language also a small number of publications appear which are generally reprints of old works in praise of the Prophet Mubammad and on the Muhammadan religion. As in Hindi, so in Urdu, the Upper India Urdu is considered purer than that spoken in Southern India, and a large number of books on different subjects are said to be imported into the Presidency. The number of publications in Hindi and Urdu públished in our Presidency could not, therefore, be considered a triterion of the spread of knowledge in this part of the country among the people using these languages. Kanarese. --The same may be said of the Kánarese. Compared to the Kánarese-speaking population in the Madras Presidency, that speaking the same language in our Presidency is small, and large pumbers of Káparese books printed in the former Presidency are, it is said, imported in our Kánarese districts. Hindu-Sindi avd Arabic-Sirdi are the only languages that are far lagging behind in the general progress of our Presidency. In both these languages very few books are published, and they are generally reprints of old books. As regards the number of books, Arabic- Sindi is in advance of Hindu-Siudi. In Sanskrit, old works on philosophy, poetry, religious law, medicine and religion, are generally reprinted with or without commeutaries and annotaa: tions. In the other two classical languages, Persian and Arabic, old works ou Muhammadanism and in praise of the Prophet Muhammad are generally reprinted. Hardly one or two books iu. a year are printed in Portuguese in the Bombay Presidency, and the language is slowly disappearing. There appear to be no schools for teacbing this language, and the small Portuguese community along the coast districts has adopted for their mother-tongue the vernaculars of the district in which they reside. The publication of books latterly in Jávi, Árvi, Naváiti, Bliatkuli and Konkani dialects, in wbich books were formerly seldom pripted and published in our Presidency, shows that knowledge and intelligence are spreading more and more day by day. among the lower classes of the Mubammadans, who are generally not tell acquainted with Urdu, particularly among the Muhammadans of the sea-coast districts and other parts of Southern India. Among the bi-linguals some good publicntions are almost invariably to be found, particularly in Sanskrit and English. 39. In conclusion, it may be stated that the general tone of the registered publications was, on the whole, unobjectionable, both morally and politically. ANALYSIS OF PUBLICATIONS REGISTERED.

From C, E BOCELAND, Esq., Secretary to the Government of Bengal, General (Miscellaneous) Department, to the Secretary to the Government of India, Home Department, -No. 1232, dated Calcutta, the 3rd April 1894 In continuation of the letter from this Department, No. 1104, dated 18th March 1893, I am directed to submit, for the information of the Government of India, the enclosed extract, paragraph 1, from a letter from the Director of Public Instruction, Bengal, No. 1818, dated the 10th March 1894, giving cover to the Annual Report on the Bengal Library for the year 1993, and the analysis of books received in the Library, together with the usual statistical forms (Nos, 1 to IV) and the Table of books, Extract from a letter from the Buector of Publio Instruction, Bengal, to the Becretary to the Goverment of Pengal, General Department, No. 1818, dated Calcutta, the 18th March 1894. Para 1. In reference to your office No.770, dated the 3rd instant, I have the honour to submit the report of Pandit Hara Prasad Sastri, M.A., Librarian, on the Bengal Library for 1893, The report is, as usual, full and interesting. * * * # Report on the Bengal Library for 1893. The number of publications received the Bengal Library during the year 1893 125 2,067. In 1892 the number was 1,675. This shows a fair increase, and the number would ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTEILED IN 1893. 04 have been much larger if all works published in these Proviuces came to the Library, as comtemplated by Act XXV of 1867. But this is not the case. Many works are not delivered to the registration offices at all. The Interpreter, a montbly journal which has entered into the third year of its existence, bas not yet been received. The Vishnupriyá, an intera esting Chaitanyaite journal, has not beeu receired, though 15 numbers of the work have been published. The Tattabodhiné Patrikó, a monthly journal of the oldest standing, was received only in 1892, after 48 years of its existence, and after 584 issues had been published. The Engineer and Indian Eilgincering, two well-known professional journals, are received but seldom. Many books advertised in the columus of newspapers and sold at the bookstalls are never received. It is difficult to guess their number, and if a conjecture may be bazarded, it is believed that 20 per cent of the works published in Bengal, Bibar, and Orissa are never submitted for registration. The general character of these publicatious does not vary much fronı year to year, and there is no fresh accession to the ranks of authors worth the name. The vumber of good writers may be counted on the fingers, aud the number of works they write is not large. Arr. Besides two or three very elementary works designed only to teaclı music without a master, the record under this head is almost a blank. The indefatigable Doctor of A[usic, Rájá Sir Shauríndra Mohan Tagore, Kt., however, has contributed bis quota to musical literature by publishivg two works, one of them to celebrate the Empress's Birthday. The presiding rleities of the seven principal potes of Hindu music bave been invoked to pronounce their benediction on the Empress, each in the tune over which he presides. It does credit to the taste and loyalty of the Rájá to publish works of this nature on festive occasions of the Royal family. The Rájá has set up in his palace a small theatre for the performance of dramas in Sanskrit. Veni Samhára, the celebrated Sanskrit drama of Bhattanáráyana, was represented on the stage. The Rájá bas, during the course of the year under review, published a work iu bich some of the best stanzas of that drama have been set to music. BIOGRAPHY, The biographical literature of 1893 is esceptionally rich. It contains two works of very superior merit, giving the lives of two eminent men who worked all their life to introduce Western ideas into Bengal. The first is the life of Michael Madhusudan Datta, the greatest poet of Bengal, and one of the best, and at the same tine worst, creations of English education in India. The biographer, Babu Jogendra Náth Basu, bas spared 10 pains to collect materials for his work. He bas travelled to every part of Bengal where his bero had been, and visited every person with whom he was in intimacy. Madhusudan's friends, Babu Gaur Dás Basák and Babu Bhudeb Mukharji, C.I.E., eagerly came forward to help the youug biograplier in his laudable undertakiog. The young man says in his preface that he was literally buried in the heaps of correspondence that Aowed in to lim from all directions, It caused him great pains to select from and to arrange this vast quantity of materials. That he has done his task with great credit there is not the least doubt. His language is at once elegant and perspicuous. The facts of the life of his hero bave been marshalled with very great skill, as many of these will not bear the light of day. But the most creditable part of the work is the history of the drama and the poetry of his time; and also that of the influence of English education on the second generation of its recipients. The great services of Michael B. Datta to Bengali literature are (1) the introduction of blank verse into Bengali, thereby giving Bengali poetry a life and vitality which it lacked before; (2) elevating the tone of Bengali drama by throwing off the shackles of slavish imitation under which it bad for a long time laboured. The pandits of Bengal never ventured to go beyond ancient Pauranic stories for their subjects, and in the manner of their writing they always followed the conventional rules of later Sanskrit dramatists-not the very best models to follow. For the first time in Bengal, Michael selected a subject of his own choice and dramatised it in his own fashion. While the motto of the Pandits was "convention," bis motto was "nature," and the first appearance of his drama cast the whole body of pandits into the shade. All these facts have been very carefully recorded in the biography, Born in the family of a rich orthodox Hindu, receiving the highest education available in his day, and gifted with talents of the highest order, Michael Madhusudan nevertheless ended bis miserable life in a charitable hospital. . The life of such a map cannot be without its lessons, or rather warnings. He has none to thank for all his sufferings, all bis misery, but himself. He was wayward as 2 schoolboy, wayward as a son, wayward as a busband, and wayward as a man. His waywardness bore good fruit in literature alone. The above is written in Bengali, but the next work is in English. It comes from the pen of the veteran writer, Babu Bholánáth Chunder, whose Travels in 1844, before the introduction of railways and telegraph, was the delight of educated natives for a generation. His ·55 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893, 1 flourished about the middle of the tivolfth century. They all practised the art of medicine and enjoyed the patronnge of Hindu rajas. From those have descended the higher ranks of the Vaidya casto, who, during the entire period of Muliammndan supremacy in Bengal, sustained the reputation of the Hindu art of medicinc, many of them enjoying the patronage of the Muhammadan sultans of Bengal, and receiving titles of uobility, such as Khan, Mallik, etc., from them. The Wall Alaps of Asia in English and Hindi, by Babu Binod Bihárí Dhar, are very well esecuted. LANGUAGE. The nery edition of the Sharda Ralpatrima has nearly completd its fourth volume. The fifth will contain an appendix, in which will be given all words which have been found in works discovored since the first publication of the dictionary. Prakritivireka, a Bengali dictionary, completo in two volumes, contains 52,832 words,-probably the largest dictionary in that language. The mischievous trade in key-making, which is so ruidous to the intellectual progress of young men in Bengal, has happily received a check during the year under review. Babu Abalikánta Sen was driving a brisk trade in kcy-making, liaving published in the course of eight or nine years keys to nearly 200 works in English and in Bengali. His unprecedented success turned his head, and he made his keys the medium of disseminating seditious ideas. His books have been entirely proscribed; but though the greatest mischief-maker has thus been removed from the field, the mischief still exists to a fearful extent. The action of the Central Test-Book Committee in unsparingly rejecting bad books has encouraged the production of many good school-books. Of these, Sáhitya pustaka, by Babu Chandra Náth Basu, Bálakbodha, by Miss Arabella Buckley, and Charitamálá, by Babu Sbambbu Chandra Vidyáratva, are worthy of special notice. The last work gives short bio. graphical sketches of a number of Bengali worthics, illustrative of the pursuit of knowledge under difficulties, LA. Pandit Madhusúdnn Smritiratna has completed his edition of the Aladana-párijáta in the Bibliotheca Indica series. The work was compiled by Visvesvara Bhatta, under the patronage of Madana Pál of Kachcha on the Jumna near Delhi, during the middle of the 6fteenth ceutury. It is very curious that, with one or two exceptions, almost all the Hindu Law Digests were compiled durivg the Muhammadan period. The reason for this appears to be that such compilations were not greatly needed as long as there existed any powerful Hindu king to give effect to the decisions of his court pandits or Dharma shastris. With the loss of Hindu independence the courts of these Dharma shastris were necessarily abolished, and Hindu law had to depend upon a purely religious sanction, and so it became necessary to state these sanctions precisely. This is what these compilations principally aimed at, apd this is what has led to the prevalent idea that the Rishis are infallible, aud that their sanction is absolutely binding on Hindus, both in this world and in the world to come. Madana-párijáta is one of the earliest compilations, and it is regarded as an authority over a wide tract of laud in Hindustan MEDICINE. The English translation of the Charaka Samhitá, by Pandit Avinash Chandra Kaviratpa, has attracted the attention of European savants to the Indian art of medicine. The translation of Nidánn into English, by Kaviraj Rasik Lál Gupta, though it has not done so much noise, appears to be a closer translation, as the author bimself knows English. His Practice of Hindr Medicine is a work of much greater importarce, because in a small handy volume he has attempted to give all the good points of Hindu medicine in English, and European scholars are likely to have a better idea of these things from this short work than from long and diffuse translations. Dr. Samuel H, Terry's work entitled "Controlling Sex in Generation has been translated into Bengali during the year under review. Besides these, there is the usual complement of Homeopathic, Allopathic, and Ayurvedic publications, Homeopathic leading the van. Zahar Niohora in Musalmani-Bengali suggests some remedies for snake-bites. MISCELLANEOUS. Hindutva, by Babu Chandra Náth Basu, is one of the most remarkable books of the year. The object of the work is to differentiate Hinduism from all other religions of the world. He has pointed out with some force that -Hinduism is a singular system of religion, ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893. 59 and that it differs from all others in the very first articles of faith. It believes in the theory of metempsychosis, a theory anknown to the Semitic religions. The theory of Karma-te, mau's respopsibility for his own actions is also peculiar to Hinduism It does not believe in the mediation of a saviour--none can save man but bimself. In the idea of salvation also it differs from all other creeds. Salvation, according to the Hindus, means exemption from the liability to meten psychosis. that remains after euch liberation is also explained in a manner peculiar to the Hindus. It believes that the liberated soul is absorbed in the Deity. The notion of the Deity is also peculiar. He is not a personal god dispensing justice and alternately becoming angry and pleased with those who are its objects. He 19, according to the idea of the Hindus, the very universe itself. All that we see and feel 16 illusion, the reality, the noumenon, is He. Salvation is obtained by the knowledge of truth, t.t.,mthe knowledge of the noumeron as opposed to the knowledge of the phenomenon. Xarma is all. powerful, except as against the knowledge of truth, which destroys it as fire destroys fuel. Works on Indian ethnography are very rare, and ethnographists will bail with delight the Notes on the Marriage Systems of the People of Assam, by Babu Hem Cbandia Barua. The description of ceremonies gone through by the aborigines at the time of marriage 18 extremely interesting. The East and West, by Babu Jogendra Chandra Ghosh, leader of the Positivists in Bengal, generalises the results of the system of ethics taught in the East and the West in the following words :--" Eastern ethics has run off into mendicancy and suicide, Western ethics into competition and depopulation, Technical Education in Europe-a possibility for Bengal is the title of a small brochure by the Reverend Alexander Tomory, M.A. It urges Government to patronise technical edu. cation in this country, and the people to shake off their complete indifference in the respect. They may thus enhance the material prosperity of the country and open up new spheres of activity to the people. The struggle for existence all over the country 18 engaging serious attention. To this spirit we owe the publication of two Bengali works entitled Svádhena Jiliká and Byabasáya 8krkshá, having for their object the earning of an independent livelihood. Moral Influence of Physical Science, by Dr. Mahendra Lál Sarkár, C:I.E, demonstrates that the progress of investigation in physical science points more and more forcibly to the existence of a great first cause. Indian Pandils in the Land of Snow, by the eminent traveller, Bábu Sarat Chandra Dás, C.I,E , describes the grand drings of the Bengalı race during the palmy days of the Pál dynasty, who were so proud of their title of Gaureshrara, These pandits were all eminent Baddhist monks, who visited Tibet in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, liberated its people from the low and grovelluog worship of demons, introduced the purest form of the Mákazán doctrine into that country, and translated a large number of Buddhist scriptures into Tibetan. Babu Rámákshaya Chattopadhyája, a retired Deputy Magistrate, has summarised his experience of the working of the Bengal Police, and made some suggestions for its improvement in a work eutitled Pulisha-o-lokaraksha. He points out that the criminal classes have the country, and waless the police gh the better education and bigher be considered safe. intellectual activity of a province ja most fully represented. It contains a comprehensive collection of Bengali proverbs entitled Pravádapustaka, with a learned preface pointing out the character of the nation as revealed in its proverbs. Upabana-oinod or Briksháyurveda is an interesting work on Indian horti. culture. The caste publications Játıbheda, Játibichára, Ambashtha Kon Birna ; collections D..!!-------- 241: l'orgal-báhár, Tappá-o-chatki, etc.; .. on holy places, such as Mrlha. still to a great extent moving in the old grooves. The Fiskva Kosha, or Universal Encyclopædia in Bengali, bas very nearly completed its fifth volume, coming to the end of the letter ka. Cahandal Sara Sampraha, by Baba Chandra Johar Ghosh, Lecturer, Campbell Medical School, is a comprebeasive work on Sanskrit and Vedic metres, of which any Sanskrit scholar right be proud. PHILOSOPHY. Two important works in Sanskrit philosophy were completed during the year under review,- Damely, an English translation of Aniruddha's Commentary by Dr. Garbe, and --3-trinhhinhentunen 11 --- ni 1 2 ·60 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893. the Anamánchintamani, or the Chapter ou Inference of the Taltvachintamani, cdited by Pandit Kámákhyánátb Tarkavágísla. Dr. Garbe's translation is faithful and clear, and his notes are interesting and to the point. The preface contains a history of the Sámkliya philosophy. Aniruddha, says the writer, thougl belonging to the sixteenth contury, really represents a much older Sámishya traditiou than the work of Vijnánabhikslu, an earlier commentator who has given a Vedantic tinge to his commentary. Sámkhya, says Dr. Garbe, dorives its name from Simkhyú, or enumeration. The peculiar feature of the system is that it attempts to fix all philosophical ideas by numbers such as the thirce gunas, twenty-five taltvas, and so on. The enumerative philosophy appears to be much older than Buddhism, as the latter follows the method of the former, especially in fixing ideas by numbers, such as the four noble truths, the five sílas, ole. The second volume of the Tatluachintamani, just finished, contains the laws of inference of the modern school of Naiyáyikas, Its peculiar feature is the idea of Vyápli, the relation in which the middle term stands to the major. The word, Pyapti, means co-extension, and this idea of co-extension has been clnborated with scholastic subtlety. The work is accompanied by the commentary of Jayadeva, better known as Pakshadhara Mishra, POETRY. There are under this ucad the usual number of poetical miscellanies of doubtful merit, and the usual number of poetical readers, both original works and compilations. Talini, by a female writer, is very highly spoken of, and contains some pieces of great beauty, of more important works, Kurukshetra, by Babu Nabín Chandra Sen, is a sequel to big Raivolaka. Iu these two works an elaborate attempt has been made to give the entire story of the Malábhárata in the short compass of two small volumes. The trork has been written in the interest of the Hindu revival, and the whole work has been given a revivalist anı modern garb. Abhimanyu is represented as the highest ideal of man. He is the son of Arjona, the greatest of the Pandava lieroes by his favourite wilo, Subhadrá. He is educated by his materual uncle, Krishna, to be the head of the new order of things after the fall of the Kauravas. He has all bis faculties, physical, mental, and moral, fully devcloped. War to him was a pastime. He was a complete master of the gitá, the revivalist's bible. He loved his wife dearly, and his affection for his mother koew no bounds. It was this darling of the Pándaras, this future liope of the civilised torld, who was murdered by seren beroes of the Kauravas fighting in concert. The Kurukslietra war was being fought with almost equal success on both sides. But this murderous deed turned the tables against the wrong-doers. The work is well written, the style smooth and beautiful, the versification flowing and elegant. But there are marks of baste and carelessness observable in some places. I'ilgadharma, by Babu Bijaya Krishna Mazumdár, is an exquisite little book. It gives the gradual development of religious ideas, from the earliest fetish worship to Brahmoism. The stages have been well selected and the mental and moral condition in cach bas been described with power. Dlahesha-máhátmya and Jayprakásha Fashahprakásha are two eulogies-- one of Malámahopadhyaya Malesia Chandra Nyáyaratna, C.1.E., and the other that, of Dewan Jayaprakashá Lál. The late Pandit Haridas Shastri, M.A., Priucipal, Maharaja's College, Jaipur, has done excellent service by publishing the Jánakiharanam of Kumárdás, a royal poet of Ceylon and a contemporary of Kálidás, The Sanskrit work was of high merit, but unfortunately it was lost, and Pandit Haridás had to reconstruct the whole poem (from a Sinhalese paraphrase which is still extant. The Pandit had been preceded in this work a short time before by a Sinhalese Bhikshu. RELIGION, Christianity bas produced the usual number of tracts, Muhammadanism continues the Bengali translation of the Koran. Buddhism has produced a hand-book or Eastasára, giving people an elementary idea of modern Buddhism. The work is in Páli and Bengali. The number of works on Hinduism are many and various. The most important of these are the Chaitanyaite publications. The Banshi Shikshd, by Premdás Mishra, has been published from ancient manuscripts for the first time. Chaitanya is said to have been an incarnation of Rádhá and Krishna in union. All of Chaitanya's associates were incarnations of various persons and things, surrounding Krishna at Brindavau. Krishna's flute, the celebrated murali of Vaislınava poets, was born as Banshi Badan Chatta of Kulin, one of Chaitanya's associates, vbo had a most beautiful voice. After his death he was born as Rám · Chandra and wrote some of the finest songs. Bansbi, or Ram Chandra, is associated with temples, at Bagh-na-párá near Kalna, and Banshi Shikhsá ends with a description of the building of these temples.

·TEILICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IY 1993. 61 Amiya Nimas Charila, Parts I and II, by Batu Shishir Kamie Ghosh, is perhaps the book of the year. It is not a mere religious biography mitten from a historical or ration. alistic gwint of view, but in the work of a living faith. It lears distinct traces that the author is fully convinced of the divinity of Chaitanya, and also of the troth of the miracles wrought by lim. Chaitanya and his associates at Nadia used to play the part of Krishga at Briodáran, and to Chaitanya was always afsigned the part of Krishna. He acted his part well. Thes from time to time be used to fall into trances, in wbich he aegumed to himself all the attributes of Vishnu in Goloka. lle used to predict erents, award blessings and corse, which werc fulfilled, and reod for sceptical people to come and see whether he was really the l'isbna. These periods of trance were regarded as holy moments, and their history bas been lovingly recorded by his faithful followers. They were very little understood. But the sothor has made tte bistory of these trances gencrally intelligible, and has thrown thereby an additional light on the Chaitanyaite literature, the olecunties of which he seeks to remove io bie new work. Bala Shishir Kumar Ghosh has giren to what is pre-eminently the religion of forc a charm and fascination unknown before. Mr. R. C. Datta, CS., has publshed thrce parts of his lindu Dharma, gising a history of Vedic Samhilis, Brahmaras, Aranyata, and Upanishal, His work is espected to embraco the whole range of linduism and to be complete in eight parts. Babu Bihári Lal Mitra hau pullished the second volume of his English translation of the l'oga Täiskusika dald Klimágans, and Babu Manmatha Náth Datta has completed his English translation of the Sath Book of the Rámáyanı, and has commenced another series of English translations, namely, the "Ieuth of India," containing the Vishnu Purana and the Bhagavata. Balu Pratáp Chandra Ráy's translation of the Mahabhárata is steadily progressing, and the edition of the Gild with nine commentaries by Babu Damodar olharji s toalnog fair progress. The Brihat Sáracall, by Radhámolian Dás, published at Bankura, is continued. Sarga. thanda Rahasya in Assumete gires the bistory of Saudara Ders, cne of Assam's great religious reformers, SCIESCE (lathematical, Natural and other). The records under these two heads are, as usual, a blank. TEATES AND VOYAGES.

From J. Seuz, Exg, Director of Publio instruction, Punjab, to the Chief Seeretary to Government, Punjab, No. 457, dated Labore, the 22nd February 1894. I have the honour to forward the apnual report on the books registered in the Punjab during the year 1893, under Act XXV of 1887, as furnished by the Registrar, Education Department, From LLL Rax Ktsien, Registrar, Educational Department, Punjab, to J. 814x, E., MA, LL D., Director of Public Instruction, Punjab, --No. 65, dated Labore, the 15th February 1891 I have the honour to forward my report on the publications registered in the Panjab, under Act XXV of 1887, during the calendar year 1893, together with the usual statistical forms, 2. The total number of books received for registration shows a decline of 81, having fallen from 1,483 to 1,452. The decrease is, however, confined mostly to productions against the heads Miscellapeous, Poetry, and Religion, all of which include a large number of anim. portant small tracts and leaflets, On the other hand, as will be seen from the memorandum Given further on, a marked increase is visible in the more important heads, such as Biography, Fiction, Inaguage, and Medicido. The year has, on the whole, been fertile in producing valuable works in the chief vernaculars of the Provioce,-viz., Urdú ani Panjábi. 3. The number of books, of which the copyright was registered during the year under report, rose from 16% to 182, wbich is satisfactory. 4. The division of books, including periodicals, according to their languages, is given below for the previous year and the year under report: English Arabic Hindi Kashmint Papjábi 218 10 Persian 51 Sanskrit 7 8 Sindhi 21 68 Takre Urdá 796 Bilingual 102 Trudgual. 18 Polyglot .

The largest number of books and periodicals is represented by Urdú, being 796, or more than 50 per cent, of the total number for the year, as against 745 for the previous year. Panjabi shows a falling of from 508 to 218, owing, it seems, to the fact that editions of a great many insignificant productions of the previous year have not met with any considerable demand to admit of their being reprinted. Sindhi publications count 58 against 21 for the preceding year, which indicates that the direct communication that has of late years been opened between this Province and Sindh has ivfluenced the cultivation of the vernacular of the latter country to an appreciable extent by the Punjab people. 5. The publications for the years 1892 and 1893, as arranged according to the subjects treated of, stand as follows: 1592. 1693.

TOTAL 1,483 1,452 As usual, religion takes the lead in representing the largest number of publications including, among others, prayers, praises of God and lesser divinities, controversial literature, and the like. Biography, fiction, language, and medicine show a decided improvement, whilst poetry, under which are grouped all metrical compositions, large religious Torks excepted, has declined. The fluctuations noticeable among the other heads are unimportant. Politics is not much in requisition, and travels are still unappreciated. 6. The total number of publications received during the year include 1,327 books and 125 periodicals. The latter comprise 55 legal, 22 medical, 19 religious, 23 miscellaneous, 3 scientific, and 3 poetical periodicals. 7. Of original works, translations and re-publications, the following may be noticed in order of the subjects under which they are range:- ARTS. Books on arts are unknown in this country, as all bandicrafts and industries are here learnt, almost exclusively, without any books, in shops and manufactories.

The lady, on the other hand, never encouraged his addresses, though she was shrewd enough to keep him enthralled. But the deluded youth was sadly disappointed when, at the end of the voyage, the lady most abruptly left him on being received by her brother-in-law, who had come to receive her.

Here she practised yogu and other austerities, nominally presiding over the Darbárs of her followers, but in reality acting like a perfect recluse. Happy circumstances at length brought her in contact with her husband, whom she had not forgotten, and as the love was reciprocal, she succeeded in re. entering the house of her father-in-law, who was also reconciled.

Of the two in Sanskrit, one is a story of Bilbaoa, a poet who is said to have fallen in love with a princess whose tutor be tras, and whom he afterwards married, and the other is a collectisa of entertaining stones.

This translation is edited by Mr. B. Mallappa. Nagararma's translation is a classical work in Kaonada literature. Two of the works were epitomes in verse of the Mahabharata One was & collection of tales of Akbar and his minister Bırbal translated from Mahrattı. The rest rele reprints of tales or legendary accounts of Puranic or historical personages. 8 History.--This head is represented by two works, of which one is a reprint of a brief history of India in Kapnada, and the other is a short bistory of England, also in Kannada.

The poem was prescribed as a text-book for the Mysore Lower Secondary Examina tion of December 1893. 14. Philosophy. Under this hcad nro classificd three works in Kannada and one work in Sanskrit. The latter work is a portion of Vasishta's Yoga philosoplıy. The Kannada vi! contain moral and religious prccepts in corso. 15 Religion.-of the works registered under this head, 28 were written in Kannada, 19 in Sanskrit, 27 in Sanskrit and Kaunnda, and 4 in Telugu, making altogether 78 publica tions. Of these, 16 were monthly numliers of Vira-Saiva Matla Prakasika and Budbajana Manoranjani, published during the year. The former journal is devoted to the exposition of the teuets of Vira-Saivaism and the latter to the exposition of the tenets of Jainism. Of the 62 books on religiou, 12 contain devotional songs, 12 contaiu verses in praise of various deities and contain hymns from the Vedas. Nine of the works treat of rituals, 3 lay down directious for worship, 2 contain the dnily forms of prayer, I are accounts of sacred persons or of places, 7 deal svith the principles of Vedanta philosophy and other doctrinal points, 3 are collections of moral or religious movims, 1 exposes the weak points of Brahminism, 1 is an account of the conversion of Vishnuvardhana, a Jaina king, to the Vaishnavaism of Ramanuja: charyn and the persecutions which the Jains underwent during the time of that prince, and the last on the list is an appienl to Vira-Saivas for help in establishing a Vira-Saiva school and home for the benefit of the poor children of that sect. Among these, Srisuka Bhashya, Dvadasamanjari and Chaturdasa Manjari, Champu Bhagavata Nijadipika, Mulastambha, Mahapurana, and a Kannada transhtion of the Vedic hymns called Purusha Sukta, are the ovlý trorks of any importance. Srisuka Bhaslıya is a commentary of Sukracharya on Badarayana's aphorisms of Vedanta philosophy: The work nest in order contains the religious maxims of Sankaracharya with a Kannadi translation. Champu Bhagavata is an account of the life of Krishna and is a well-known work in Southern India. Nijadipika is a treatise on Advaita philosophy with a commentary. Mulastambha Mahapurana describes Visvakarma as the creator, protector, and annihilator of the universe, and urges the claims of the Pancbalas of guldsmiths to be classed as Brahmins, which appears to be an attempt on the part of a lover caste to clain equality with Brahmins. Parsvannthapurana is an account of one of the Jaina ! Thirthavkaras. Besides the above works, two Sanskrit publications in the Mysore Oriental Library series which were not registered may be noticed—namely, the Apastamba-Gribya-Sutra with the commentary of Sudarasanacharya and the A.pastamba-Paribhasha-Sutra with the commentaries of Kapardiswamin and Haradattacharya. These works are published for the first tine and treat of the rules relating to the daily sacrificial ceremonies as laid down by A pastamba and interpreted by famous commentators. They are of great interest to Brahmins in Southern India, who are followers of the Vedic school of Apastamba. 16. Science. (Dlathematical). A look containing tables in arithmetic is the only publicatior, falling under this head. Ankı Ganita Balasikshe by K. Venkata Sami Iyer, B.A., Assistant Master, Maharaja's College, Mysore, which is a Kannada book on elementary aritimèlic designed for the use of teachers of the infant classes, was published by the Education Department. It is written on the latest methods adopted in the works of Sonnenschein and Nesbitt, and the arithmetic published by the National Society. The book is likely to make a great improvement in the teaching of arithmetic in lower primary schools. The Department also published a new edition of H. Krislına Rao's Ganitakalonidhi, which is au excellent arithmetic for use in primary schools. The two last books were not registered. 17. Science (Natural).-The Mysore Department of Public Instruction published a free translation into Kannada by C. Vasadeviahı of "Easy lessons on health " published by the Christian Vernacular Literature Society of Madras. The book is an excellent introduction to the science of Hygiene, and is wiitten in an easy style. It was not registered, being a Goyernment publication. 18. Periodicals.-These have been referred to in their appropriate places above. The periodicals of which the different issues were received for registration during the year were the Kavyamanjari, Vidyadagini, Granthamala, Strividyabhimani, Kavyambliudbi, Budhajana · Manoranjani, and Vira-Saivamatha-Prakasika. In the absence of a Kannada Literature Society, the editors of the Kavyamanjari and the Granthamala-are making laudable efforts to enrich modern Kanna la literature by publishing old Kannada works which have not yet been printed, and translationg of standard English and Sanskrit works. Mr, S. G. Narasimhachar, Librarian of the Mysore Oriental Library, and Mr. M. A. Ramanujachariar, who are both good Kanpada scholars, started the Kavyamanjari in April 1892 as a monthly magazine. Since that date the following old Kannada works have been published in parts in the magazine :--- 1. Ratnákarádliswara Sataka, by Hansaraja Kavi, being moral and religious maxims iu versc.

·- PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1893 107 2. A parájítéssara Sataka, by Rataáfara Kavi, a native of Mangalore, who is said to bare lived about the end of the fifteenth centary. The book treats of moral and religious maximus as, Kabligara Kars, by Addaiya, who is supposed to have lived in the fourteenth century. It is a poem of considerable kterary merit. 4. Mitrayinda Góvindá, a drama by Singatya. 5. Hadibadega Dharma, describing the duties of a wife, by llongamma, who was a mard of bonoar in the court of Chikka Devaraja. 8. Chaturásya Nighantu, a glossary of old Kannada words by Chaturásya. 7. Karnataka Nighantu, a glossary of old Kannada yords. The author is not kuowy. The following works are in course of publication in the monthly issues ; 1. Apratima Veeracharitam, a work on rhetorie by Tirumalacharya, who lived in the time of Chikka Deraraja. 2. Sringárs Rataskara, a work on thetoric by Kámadera, who is said to have lived about the twelfth century. 3. Sabdasmriti, by Nágavarms, treating of Kannada Grammar, 4. Malinathapurba, by Abbinava Pampa. 5, Chikka Devarayana Vamsávali (History of the dynasty of Chikka Devaraja), by Turamalacharya. C. Galáyuddha, a foem by Ranpa Kovi, who is supposed to have lived about A. D. 819. The editors, besides furnishing a correct test, have added short esegetical notes, and in some cases a few particulars of the author's life. The Granthamala is conducted by Mr, M. Shama R20, M.A., Assistant to the Education Secretary. The object of the journal is to enable learned pandits to publish translations of standard Sanskrit works, and to eacourage young men who have received a bigh Veiversity education to translate standard English works. The editor aims also at tbe creation of a modern prose Kannada style The journal was started as a monthly publication in July 1893. In this joarnal translations of the following syorks have been appearing in parts Shakespeare's l'empest, dieadows Taylor's Toppa Saltan, History of Sandford and Merton, Nagábanda Nataka, a Sanskrit drams, and the story of Jeevandbara, * Sanakrat poem. A translation in verge of Goldsmith's Hermit and a Kannada poem called Sustimanjari, beiag a collection of moral maxims, have appeared in the journal, 19. As in previous years, bo Englislı work has been published in 1893, por any betwork of literary interest or originalty of thought. Vader Drama there have been productions of little or no merit, based on the episodes of the Mahabharata and the Ramayang, or incidents and stories taken from other Paranag. Under Fiction the publication of the Kannada trans- Jatrous of Paryus of the Mahabharata made in the Mysore palace has been continued, and an important translation into Kabnada of the second part of Badabhatta Kadambari has been publisbed. Bat the modern Kannada novel is set to come into exist There was the usual aumber of superstitious books on Astrology, Divisation, Omens, a er 8milar subjects, showing how little modera edacation has changed the old establit habits of thought and action. Under Poetry there was no original production deserving of meption The largest namber of pablications were classed nader Religion. Each sect seems to have produced books on its favourite beliefs, showing how deeply religious the life of an ordipary Hinda is. The most gratifying features of the year's publications sre to be found in the attempts made by young med, wo have received a bigh University education, to publish old Kannada works whose existence has hitherto not been known, and translations of standard works of English and Sanskrit literatare. The promoters of the Granthamala and the Karyamanjari are doing excellent service by concentrating the efforts of modern educated men and andits desirous to improve, and earick modern Kannada literature, and affording them facilities publication wbich bare not hitherto esisted. In the absence of a large reading public willing able to patronise Dexy publications, it is a good idea to publish in monthly parts 10 portant giaal Forks and translations. The educated men of these days cannot confer a greater ssing upon their uneducated brethren than by placing witbin their reach trapslations of dard Forks found in English and Sanskrit literature. Translation must remain the chief is of earichiog veruacular literatare until a class of men devoted to literature as a profes. omes into existence, and caa be sapported by the realiog pallic Up to the date of the ng of the Granlkamala only fout (ranslations of important Eaglish works were publisbed, Shakespeare's Cymbeline, Comedy of Errors, Merchant of Venice, and Romeo add Juliet. ped that tbe Granthamala will be a means of giving great encouragemeat to this braach ture. .

I have the honour to submit from the Registrar of Books his report and analysis of publications registered in 1892 under Act XXV of 1867. 2 There was a great increase in the number of publications registered in the year, the total number for 1892 being 982 as against 78.4 registered in 1891. The increase was more or less general, though confined only to particular languages, as will be apparent from the following two statements which give the figures for the past five years :- YRARE Dooku and porphlete Periodicale TOTAL 1888 1889 1890 1691 1892 942 1,138 8.16 627 799 297 228 176 157 183 1,169 1,366 1,022 784 982 YUARA Origioal words Republicatious Translatione TOTAL 653 1688 1882 1890 1891 1892 579 749 698 580 695 5-16 389 148 206 37 71 35 56 82 1,169 1,366 1,022 784 982 3.

Viewed numerically, the publications in Tamil take the foremost place, while those in English, Telugu, and Sanscrit rank next. Tamil and Telugu publications and bi-lingual publications with Tamil or Telugu and Sanscrit were registered in 1892 in larger pumbers than in the previous year. The large number of works appearing in the two most importart vernacular languages of this Presidency, the large increase in re-publications and translations already noted, and the increase of publications under poetry and religion, which the accompanying statement shoirs, form the distinctive features of the activity of the past year :- 1891. 1892. 10 7 4 19 18 12 89 50 18 143 59 22 24 20 87 . 48 Art Biography Drama Fiction History Language Law Medicine Miscellaneous Poetry Philosophy Politics Religion Science, Mathematics Do.

A few works on music, a musical biography, and a magazine devoted to music, appeared during the year, their appearance being probably, to some extent, due to the foundation of the Madras School of Music. The dramas published were chiefly translations, and the appearance of Manonmaniyam, an original work in Tamil, may be noted. Under fiction appeared novelettes published by Messrs. Higginbotham and Co., and novels publisbed in Malayalam. ovels may be said to be new to the Dravidian languages, and bave not appeared, except in Malabar; and one novel was written with the object of ridiculing the novelists in that district. The following are some works of importance: (1) Kuvalayanandam, with commentary-Rasikaranjani, a standard Sanscrit work on rhetoric. (2) Silappadhikaram, a classical poem in Tamil. (3) Trivarga Pradipica and Trivargamu, metrical translations into Telugu of Kurab the well-known didactic work in Tamil. (4) Vijaya Vilasamu on rhetoric. (5) Probodha Chandrodayamu, a Telugu translation from Sanscrit. (6) Harischandropakhyanamu.

The total number of works received for registration during the year was 982 aguast 784 of the yeg' preceding, showing a marked tendency to regain the position held by the publishep iterature of this Presidency prior to the amendment of section 9 of the Act by Act X of 1890, under which all verbatim reprints have been rigidly excluded from registration When writing ny last annaal report I was not without apprehension that the number of vernacular publicaxons would take long to regain the ground lost suddenly during 1890, but I am glad to be ible to announce that the experience of the period under review has proved the reverse to be the ase, as shown by the subjoined figures for the past and preceding years.- Books and pamphlets Periodicals 1809 799 183 1891 627 157 TOTAL 982 784 3. The increase is more or less perceptible in all directions, as the following re-classification f the publications with reference to language under three other heads will show :- DESCRIPTION OF WORKS Books published Books published Books pablished Booka podizahed in English and jo the vernacular in the Indlag Other (aropend) languages spoken classical lane ia more than leugusges in the province guages one language TOTAL Ymgyal was le publications Cranslation 183 5-4 330 106 69 35 106 11 9 695 200 81 TOTAL 264 541 68 126 982 The first of these groups includes all periodicals and pictorial magazines and new or 'evised editions of original works, as well as keys, school maquals, leaflets and street ballads, iad tracts. The re-publications are generally of some value, as they include a number of works of Sanscrit and ancient vernacular literature with paraphrase or notes in the languages current a the Presidency. The paucity of translations from the Indian languages into English 19 not unusual; but it is satisfactory to note the growth of the class of literature in more than ne language showing the increasing tendency to popularise the contents of the classical litera. ure of the country and the philosophical, religioas, and medical systems of the Hindus and Muhammadans, with their commentaries, 4.

The only English play published during the year is “The Tiro Sergeants" in four acts translatal from the Italtın by Mrs. Dumergue. Vásantika Skrapna in the Deranazri character and another editioa in Grwodha character by a graduate and an assistent maister at the Pulukóla College is a clever adaptation in Saoscrit of Shakespeare's " Midsummer Night's Dream," the plot being modified to suit the rules of dramatic composition in Sauscrit and enlivened with the riches of oriental fancy. Fiction - The well-known local publishers, Messrs. Higginbotham & Co, base done well in issuing a new series of cheap arvelettes in English for the use of railway travellers about the middle of the year, bequaain with flow I got a Wiſe," a story of German village life, translated from the Germi original, and describing mxle of hfe anknown in this country, thougla peculiar to Germany. This is been followed up lg "Scrap from a Life on Cloudland." which reads more like a series of conversations witb scraps of wedding and welding-cakes, garden parties, badminton and teanis-grouoda on the hills, and other matter likely to amase the traveller. Another story in English appears in this collection as an orginal work with the Lorrowed title of“ Sylvestra's Secret," but the story counts for very little and sybat story there is is told in bad English, and after all its aim is simply to advertise Pears' soap, and nothing more. Among the vernacular works may be named-a Teluga version of a part of the Arabian Nights' Entertainments and of the tale of Shakespeare's " Midsummer Nights' Dream" or Kecharollass, written on the plan of Lamb's Tales, but in too learned a style for popular reado ing; a new tale, begun with the title of Satyarajab's travels, founded on life in what is called the female Dolayalam country; and also the two numbers of a serial story-hook, being a Teluga adaptation of a Sanscrit work of fiction called the "Kadhácant Ságara ; " Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night or What you will," ly a native member of the Folklore Sexcrety of London, and Atirasa Mangari, No. 1, being a collection of amusing tales, are also worthy of mention as Tamil adaptations by living writers. An interestin; collection of Indias fables, reprinted with illustra. tions from thLondon "Leisure Hour" is also by a Mindu writer. But, as slated in lant year's report, it is the Malayalam language that claims the best specimens of novel-unting, azd Mr. Chandu Minoa, the author of tbe" Indudel ha," the merits of which one well known, is again in tha forefront of ihe Malayali porelists this year with Part I of bis Sánda, which is a love story in the main, but parts of which are devoted to an esposure of the folly of throw. ing away money on espeasive law-suits, which from his personal koonledge as a judicial oficer he may be naturally expected by his readers to regard ss the growing evil of this country at present, as well as a discussion of various other social matters and living aspects of things peculiar to the Malayalıs To other novelettes in Malayan of little acrit also appear this year one of them called " Sarasvati Vijayam," Leing a praise of Christia books and tracto pab. lished in Malabar as a means of spreading education among the low-caste people, and the other a comic piece, named ParangotParinayam, being intended simply to ridicule the works of the novelista of Malalar. The story of Ratoavati'e marriage, dramatised in Canarese, is the oals work of the class in that language registered during the year. Ilıstory-Beside the usual run of educational works like the Ilind-book of Ind an History, issued in two parts in lindastani, for the use of Muhamwadan schools, there arrear, under this head, three English worko wbich, ibough not brilliant pieces of writing,still call for potico as a contribution to local history, based on official record and historical traditids, n:, a supplement to the appendix to the bistory of Kálsbasti zemindari and other joghirs gractal for military service ja North Arcot, edited by Derran Babadar R. Razhonatus Rao; the History of Il impi, or a brief historical and geographical account of Hampi as it was add av if it, intended as a guide to travellers who go to visit tho temples and other Hampi ruins, and con. tains a chapter on the family of ancient Vijayanaşır, and an account of the tribes of Conrg. in Camarere, is a translation from sa English work og matter of caste and tnbal relations intersting to the people of Coorg. “ The Invasion of England 11 the Nineteenth Century" : 1 eplargul adition of a work treating of the military position of England among the poweto of Europe and Asia, and in other parts of the world. Language. The work of anting and pulleking grammatical primeru sel floraries, annolated vitions of readers, exercise bools, kays and cran.brok, for esaminstias, is carried ·6 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTYRED IN 1892. on almost as actively as ever, and some of these are mere partphrases or abstracts from old and better works. The only exception is an Anglo-Tamil Self-Rcarler, said to bo prepared on the model of Public School primers of Europe for teaching English to Tamil-speaking childron, and a novel Exercise Book for tenching Tamil Grammar. Of the non-educational works, the following deserve mention : Mr. Arden's " Progressive Grammar of the Common Tamil," an elementary grammar of the common Konkani dialect called "A Sweet Voicc from the Konkani Desert,” both intended for foreign students; an analysis of the study of words lxy Trench; a new edition of the Nannul of Pavanandi, or grammar of the Tamil language, with casy rommentary Kuvalayanandam, with comment called Rasikaranjani, a standard Sanscrit work on rhetoric pripted for the first time in the Devanagari churacter; and the Daknni Manuscripts, with an English translation by a military officer, intended as a guide for deciphering manuscripts in the Dakapi language, as a means of pursuing oriental studies, besides a pocket dictionary of Sansorit words, with their meaning in Telugri. Law.--As a rule, publications under this licad are more numerous than original, and the noteworthy works on law are generally known. Mr. C. Ramanchandra Aiyar, of the Civil Service, is responsible for another collection of decisions on the Hindu law regarding morriage and the effects of apostacy after marriage, on the law of succession, maintenance, etc., applicable to dancing girls and their issues, and on the liability of ancestral property for father's debts and on maintenance. Mr. J. D. Mnyne's" Treatiscon Ilindu Las nod Usage" is already a favourite work, and the necessity of publishing a fifth edition seems to have given the author one mora opportunity of revising tlic work with reference to later decisions, the most important of them being the ruling of the Privy Council ishich establishes that under the Mitakshara law the holder of an impartible zemindari possesses absolute powers of alienation and of adding the explanations by the same tribunal of their former decisions with reference to the liability of sons for the debts of their father. Two works on crime in India in its medico-legal relation also desoive mention : the first bearing on medical jurisprudence, reriscd and colarged by Mr. J. D. B. Gribblo and Surgeon Patrick IIehir, and intended to provide the non-medical man with information on forensic medicine contained in more comprehensive and technical works on the subject. There is in this collection also a complete code of the transfer laur, with commentary, explaining the procedure by which property rights are assigned by one person to another, with portions of other Indian Acts necessary for the study of the subject. Afr. F. Mullaly's " Notes on the Habits and Customs of some of the Criminal Classes " in this part of India is an interesting work, and will prove helpful to police officers when brought in contact with predatory classes, with their peculiar caste customs. Another part of the authorised edition of the Revenue Board's Standing Orders, with appendices, and a new translation of this edition in Tamil, “ The Malabar Remembrancer," with rulings of the High Court on reported and unreported cases, " The Medical Jurists' Vade-Mecum," and a revised edition of "Stati Corps Officers' Vade-Mecum” to assist military officers in studying the official regulations of the army may be said to complete the list of useful publications of the year under this head. Medicine.—The medical books which call for notice in English are the posthumous work of Dr. Mohideen Sheriff on Materia Medica abounding in valuable information about Indian drugs and plants of Madras, Dr. Maitland's work on Elephantiasis and Allied Disorders, Microscopical Observations on the bloody cases ? of Malaria, a guide in English for the use of Electro-Homeopathic Remedies or Mattei Medicines, and an Historical Retrospect of Sanitation by Dr. Patrick Hehir. A Sanscrit Lexicon of Medicinal-plants and drugs ascribed to king Dhanvantri, with Telugu comment, and the medical tracts on the qualities of grains, vegetables, and other articles of food, and symptoms of various diseases and medical preparations and cures, and indigenous remedies for bites and stings of scorpious and other poisonous insects, are the most useful publications in Tamil and Telugu most likely to demand some sale. Miscellaneous. Is a comprehensive sub-division represented by 158 publications, large and small, on a variety of subjects and by periodical literature, which is growing, and which goes to satisfy the claims of students and little girls, as well as maps and charts to illustrate geography. The best works of the year are the excellent compilations of the Christian Literature Society, on" Burma and the Burmese, past and present,” on Japan" The Land of the Rising Sun," “ Lanka or Ceylon and its people.” The Native States of India aud other Princes and the important Zemindaries, the Principal Nations of India and the different Races by which it has ·TOPLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. lveeo Succeriyly entered, Suggestions for the Material Improvement and certaia Sxial te forms of India, the Stories of old Romans, all of which alound ia illastrative woodcatı, Tracts on the Glacial Perind and the Coming Delume and on the "llors in India " and how to loved and rear wares, foals, and young borses generally in this country, on the Sia of Dripting, a letter to ſlis Escellency the Governor on the limited ehate giren to the Don-Brahmin rucs in the Indian public service, moral lessons and guides and textbooks of geographs, and a very useful collection of addresses delivered to the gra luates of the Vairersity, incladio the remarkable one of V, Grigs at the last convocatia of the Senate of the Jadras Votersils, also Appear under this head. Poetry. -The number of poems or metrical compositmas, irrespective of the nature of their subject matter, is as large as the number of miscellinenig works of the year, and most of them are non-educational, while some of them are new edition, with comments of standan Iadua epics and legends, which, as ferial publications, are appearing in parts with the aid of subscrip tions. The following call for special mention : Silappadhikaram commentary, Pena Puránam, Tiruvarutya, fasumbai, a poem of seventy verses about the tra linz classes in the Tamil country, alleged to have been composed by the pet Kamban, the metrical version of the popular Telaga rerses by Vemana, ballads in praise of the benevolent English rale ani the efforts to mitigate the erils of this year of prolonged drooght and scarcity of food, all appearing in Tamil, Andhra Bharata and Vasishta Ramayam in parts, Venkatessora Vijaya Viliam on thetone, with intraluction, critical remarks and illustrative quotations, Padbika Vilasam or "Goldsmith's Traveller," Truvarga Pradipica, and Trnvargamu, both buios metrical versions of the celebrate! Kural, an ethical work in Tamil, and an annotated edition of Ilarischandrapalhyánymu, Canto 1, are all in Telugu. This last work, though only a pas edition, intended as a text for the Uaversity Examination, contains a useful introduction discussing critically the question as to the real authorship of this poert, The comnon impression is that it is the work of Bhatia Múrti, but the editor of the present pnblication gives the genealogy of the anthor, and traces the poem to Ramaraja Bhashana Kavi, the aathor of the well-knotte sort on rbetoric entitled tho Nam. sabupalamu. Sakuntala Nisaipravala, in Malayalam, is remarkable as being the senzad edition by the Rajsh of Pálghat is, teren acts, as found 1a Kalıdasa's celebrated drama in Saoscrit. Sri Tulasikrita Ramayana in a peculiar naatre, being a Telugu translation from a llinda work of th. first book of the ladian epic is also included in the Poetry section. Prilosophy --The only English work goder this hadis * duskertatioa on the method of rightly using Reason and Inrestigation of Truth in Sciences, being an adaptation of Descarte'n method by Pandit Lingam Lakshmaji, trell read in Latin as tell us to English mod Sinnerit and intended as a practical guide to yonds Iluodas in their dealings of ereryday life Thy works in the Indian languages are almost all re-publications and annotated editions, like Sarimaks Miniarasa, Brahma Sutra Bháshsa, besides a few books of paraphrase or notes or traorlat ons of ancient Sanscrit and Tamil works of pbilosophy, theoretical and practical, and salerminal with matters, mcılıcal and religious. Some of them show the Yoga method of boldog com. munios with the Infinite spirit and becoming finally absorbeal in the Inupite spint sivell, while the "Andhra Panchikaranam" is a Telugu rersisa of a Sanctil tork on the operations of tbe five elements, by the red union of which, according to Tatra philosophy, the world us creatal or things moulded in various form. Pulitict.ITorks under this hesi are rarely receired, a writers on political sabjecus are content with contributions to the calumas of deresparera. The only rallication of any intercat registered during the year is a collection of leuters elsey between the Madras Government and the Committee of Asignal Revenue of the Sogthiera districte of the Madne Presidency more than a century ago, in connection with which Jr. Eşler Invia was remarta for bis exemplars and divinterested pernicef.

Passing over all the puránns, prayer-books, hymis, and other tracts or local legends and other Vedic works serially published in monthly parts, with coinment, noticed among the new publications, there remain the following works of interest and controversial papers, showing how the oriental mind is working in its own groove and bow far it is influenced by contrast with Western education and culturo : Bhagavat Git:r, with comment in Sanscrit and Telugu; a brief history of the incarnations of Vishnu rendered from Telugn into English; Advaita Taravali and Advaita Makarauda on the Advaita plan of salvation, with the story intended for devotional purposes ; Atma Darsana Dipika nnd Kurnopanyasımu, inquiring into the nature of the human soul, as contrasted with the Divine or Universal soul and with the law of natural esistence and the plan of salvation ; Andhra Srilháshya, a standard Vedentic work of the Vaishnava crecd in Southern India now progressing rapidly as a Telugu gerial. Vaidika Achara Nirnaya on religious observances with authorities from the Vedas and Sastras; Sri Rama Chandrodaya, a comment in Sauscrit, pointing out where Vedic words occur in Valmiki's poem or the Ramáyana in support of the theory that the Ramágnnn is an illustration of Vedic truths; two tracts on the text of the Vedic chant-Purucha Sukta-with six comments, interpreting its meauing from different standpoints, one of them maintaining that this text, relied on by the orthodox Hindu, does not support the fourfold divisions of caste; a treatise on the lineage of the elders of the Vaishnava creed and other votarics of Vishnu, and a tract on the same subject by a pions Ilindu lady; Sudarsanagiri Puránn, maintaining that the Sevite shrine on the Trinomalai hill was once devoted to the worship of Sudarsava or Vislınu; : Telugu tract on the five classes of Brahmins and their sub-divisions in the MIndras Presidency, and another on the ten classes of Brahmins, including five Dravidas and five Gondas and their minor sub-divisions, according to thie branch of the Vedas they adopt; Sandliyavandana Bhashiam, treating of the daily prayers and other religious obscrvances of the followers of the Rig Veda on expiatory ceremonies for the removal of sins; “ Bible Authors-Tho are they ;” and a Telugu tract by the late Rajal of Venkatagiri, C.S.I., defending Ilinduism against the attacks of forcign religionists, appears side by side with another tract in T:mil in favour of women's cause, entitled "Indian widows and what should be done for them.” The Christian literature of the year may be said to be rich enough with Christian evidences and Bible readings in Telugu with Satyaprakasika or “The light of Truth” and the like in Tamil; aud numerous other tracts in the vernacular languages are of special interest to Native Christian readers. In the Muhammadan languages, literary activity seems to have been strikingly little during the period under reviews, as what appeared on the faith of Islam and the fundamental truths of Muhammadanism leing, like Sham Shul Islam, more in Tamil than in Arabic or Hindustani. Science, Blathenratical.-There are few works of any great importance under this lead. A test-book on the principles and practice of book-keeping, and a set of rules and question papers to help the esamination candidates on this subject, and an improved edition of a collection of formula and rules, and examples in mensuration-all these in English-an introduction to the construction of figures of plane geometry in Kanarese, an Ephemeris showing the corresponding dates according to European, Hiodu, and Muhammadan calendars from 1851 to 1895, a Universal Encyclopedic calendar in English and Tamil, and a new set of Timber tables in candies and the pative weights of Travaocore and Malabar by a European planter, and the new edition of Exchange tables rendered necessary by the rapid fall in the value of the silver rupee, are all the mathematical publications other than purely educational works of the year. Science, Natural and other. Under this head appear in English Dr. Delaney's blavual of Physiology and another Hand-book on the same subject, Dr. MacNallay's Sanitary Hand-book for India, Dr. Patrick Hehir's Rudiments of Sanitation for schools, a native graduate's notes, etc., on qualitative chemical analysis, and a readable description of snakes, crocodiles, and otber reptiles, showing the usefulness of these creatures in their place and the wisdom of the Creator. Besides the reprint of standard astrological works, with vernacular explanations, this year bas. witnessed the publications of a “Fortune Teller" in Telugu and Tamil, compiled from Indian and European works on astrology, divination, palmistry, omens and dreams, all written in familiar language to command rendy sale. A Malayalam booklet on Hindumagio in verse and + ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. 9 on the art of seduction and fascination, and four Tamil tracts in one, ascribed to the Panda Prince Sabadeva on the science of appioach of death, on good and bad omens, prognostications from the chirping of lizards and the like, and the eyils foretold by a lizard falling op one's person, are also among the new publications presented for registration. Trarela and Voyages ~This head is almost blank, travels, in the sense in which the word is used in Europe, being almost entirely unknown to the Hodu and Muhammadın. The only work that may be raid to represent this head 13 the account in English of an imaginary journey called “ Pictorial Tour round India" by the Christian Literature Society, intended to give its people a better idea of their own country th in great numbers of them, whenever they leave their homes, can be expected to bave, and the numeroas illustiative woodcuts in the look strikingly noticing the principal objects of interest. 5. The last sub-division of the registered pablications shows that the numbers of educa. tional and non-educational works to be lal and 801, respectively, which approach the figures for 1890, and justify the expectation that they will receive a further accession duing the new year. 6. During the period under report, 272 works were copy-righted against 210 of the previous year, showing that suthors and publishers are becoming more and more alive to the usefulness of this optional class of registration. The number of copy-righted works includes a Government school-book, and another publication entered free of charge. 7. Such is a brief record of progress in the publication and registration of carrent literature in this Presidency. I referred in my last report to the difficulty of detecting cases of nou-delivery of books and tracts, objectionable or otherwise in tone, and often isued with false or no title-pages. I have come across this week, bowever, a dozen booklets open to question on moral grounds, and never before delivered at this office by their respective printers Such defaulters will be prosecured presently, if the presses and prioteis concerned can be found and identified, and if sufficient evidence of evasion of the law can be secured, on which the law officers of Government can maintain such prosecution. 8. The reference library attached to the office cannot be said to be practically opened to the public as yet, owing to the non-completion of the reference catalogue alpbabetically arranged according to subject matter to each languaze. The portions of this catalogue dealing with English, Tamil, and Telugu works have been struck off, but the latter part, elating to otber Indian vernacular and classical languages remain yet to be printed at the Government Press, to which this beavy work wis ordered to be entrusted.

I am directed to forward, berewith, for submission to the Government of India, copy of a report by the Reporter on the Native Press and Registrar of Native Publications, Bombay, contrining a brief review and analysis of publications registered in the quarterly catalogues for the year 1892, together with its accompaniments prepared in accordance with the orders contained in the Resolutions of the Government of India No 10--707, dated 23th April, 1875, and No. 1-458, dated 1:20. September 1882. No 42, dated 16th March 1893. From-G.M. SATRE, Esq.B A., Registrar of Natire Publications, Bombay To-W.L. HARVET, Exq, 1 C., Under Secretary to the Government of Bobas, General Dept. I have the honour to submit the following brief review and analysis of the publications registered in the Bombay Presidency during the sear 1892, under Act IXY of 1867, a amended by Act X of 1890. 2. The total number of registered books and periodicals was 1,368, vir. 860 books and 508 periodicals, comprising 177 publications in the English language, 430 in Gujarátı, X1 in IIindi, 11 in Kanárese, 405 in Jarátbi, 27 in Sindhi, 41 o Urdu, 13 in other modern languages, 79 in classical languages, 164 polyglot works. This total may be divided into 1,003 original worhs, 221 re-publicatione not previously registered, and 141 translations The so-called original works are pot all entirely or purely origival, but some of them are adaptations, and some contain original matter, as well as translat:on. A large numler of other books, such as fresh editions of original words without any addition or alteration, re-publican tions of Ancient worke previously registered, reports of proceedings, etc., were issued from the pre«s, but they have not been taken into account in this Review, eidce under the Amendment Act X of 1890 they were not registered in the quarterly catalogues published by this Oflice. 3. From the division of the publications according to their languages given in paragraph 2 above, it will be seen that the only modern langvages which shoned a fair amount of literary activity in this Presidency in 1892 were English, Gujarati, Hindi, and Marátha, the other languages, such as Kapárese, Sundbi, Urdu, etc, being very backward. Education has long been introduced into the Kanárese and Sind districts, and one would naturally expect a larger number of books published in them. The number of purely Flodi works 18 small, but taben with mixed Hindi works, such as Sanscrit and Hindi, Gujaráti and Hindi, it shows that the literary activity evinced by that language is encouraging and commensurate with the comparatively smaller number of persons spealing that language. Tbe Urdu publications are increasing in nomber, but : et they are not so numerove as they sbould be. Sight must not, however, be lost of the fact that a large portion of the Muhammadea population of the Presidency speak the Gujarati language. Of the classical languages, Sanscrit appears to have been the greatest favourite, as usual. Latterly this language has been very widely studied, and its literature on philosophy, medicine, legends, etc, has received better appreciation than other classical languages, such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Zend, and the rest, which produced very few publications. Persian is very largely read in the high schools and colleges of this Pressdency, and one would naturally expect a larger number of publications in it. As for Latin and Greek they seem to have been atterly neglected, and not a single work was produced to aid Indian students of those languages. This is probably owing to the fact that the requisite books are imported from England. The peculiar feature of the year under review is that it produced a work in each of the Afghán, Burrese, Nepaulese, and Konkani languages, the Last-mentioned language being a corruption of Marathi spoken in the Goa territory. 4. The details of each language and bi-lingual tri-liogusl, and other combinations, as regards the number of works under each of the various beads, such as dits, Biography, Drama, etc., being given in the statements appended to this Report, it only remains to notice the works ·It is an 22 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND NEGISTERED IN 1892. deserving special mention in the several languages. Every work, whether large or small, r'equires some exercise of perseverance, labour, and intelligence, and is tenderly regarded by its author ; but a reviewer must give preference to some over others, as has been done in the following paragraphs. 5. English.--)o English there were more or less books under cach bead, except Biography, the largest number being, as usual, classed as Aliscellancous. Natives, as well as Luropeans, took part in the production of this section of the yenr's outturn- (a) “Modern Indian Architecture” is a nice little volume of excellent get-up, printed at the Education Society's Steam Press, and prepared and published by Ms. Tukárám, Head Draftsman, Rajputána-Málwa Railway, Ajmere. It gives in thirty-two well-executed plates speciinens of Hindu and Mubammadan styles of Indian architecture, and gives a full description of each plate in the introduction and general remarks. The fpecimens show much art and engincering skill and can bear comparison with specimens of Western architecture. "The esquisite beauty of many of the ancient examples of Indian architecture has," says the author, "always attracted, and still continues to attract, lovers of art from all parts of the world. It is much to be regretted that in this present age the study of Indian architecture is almost entirely neglected, the design and erection of buildings being now in the hands of those who bave do special knowledge of the art other than as builders or workers in material, such as masons, carpenters, etc." (6) “ Strangers Yet, a tale of three Christmas Morns," is a small brochure, nicely printed at the Times of India Stearn Press. It bears marks of having been the production of a tender heart, feeling tenderly for a broken heart. Indian tale, and pathetically shows how an innocent and loving wife, though neglected and distressed by the faithlessness of ber intriguing and reckless husband, continues devoted to her lord up to deatl), and forgives bim divinely for the wrongs done to her, (e) "Two Widows versus Tro Majors" is uncther tale of the Indian plains, picturing, in vigorous language, one of the phases of Anglo-Indiau life. It is a very interesting story from beginning to end. (d) “ (The) Dlicado or the Town of Titipur" is a humorous production, as is well known to the theatre-going Bombay public. (e) Professor M. Macmillan, of Elphiustone College, Bombay, has laid the Native students under deep obligations by writing four small works in tbe course of last year. These works are, "Simple Essays for Indian Students," " Simple Essays," " Essays for the Young," and "Common Faults in English Composition.” The first two of these books, though slightly differing in their titles, are two different editions of the same work, published by two different publishers. The third set of essays differs from its previous companions, inasmuch as its topics are humbler and common-place, , such as tea, coffee, the horse, umbrellas, etc. The fourth publication is expected to be more widely useful than the first three, as it points out mistakes very generally committed by Natire speakers and writers of English. This year has been singularly prolific in the production of English essays; for, besides Professor Macinillar's work, we have had “ Młodel Essays" written by Doctor P. Peterson, M.A., Professor of Sanscrit at Elphinstone College. Writing about tbese essays the Professor says in the preface, “No attempt has been made to write as a boy would write, it being the boy's business, and wish to write as a man writes.” The subjects chosen by Professor Peterson are different from those selected by Professor Macmillan, “A Hand-bonk of English Parsing," revised and enlarged edition by D. K. Hakim, so highly spoken of, as it is, by many eminent authorities, is, it need not be said, a valuable help to the large number of sehool-going young gentlemen. "Gems of English Poetry, new issue in three parts,” by D. N. Wadia, M.A, is a very useful fork, particularly on account of the introduction in sis ·ANNUUU CUISINEU IN 1OJA, chapters giving short notices of the poets, from whose works the " gems have been selected, and on accouat of the notes given at the foot of each page. w "Pharmacographia Iodica, Part V,” by the late William Dymock, Brigade Surgeon, is, like its preceding parts, a work of much learned research in the healing art. It gives a history of the medica] drugs of vegetable origin found in British India. (b) " Mátheráu," by B. R. Kotvál, (sang froid) giving a metrical description of the beanties of Mátherán, a sanitarium within easy reach from Bombay, is a pocket-book which will prove 20 excellent companion to every visitor to those hills, Politics, ancient and modern," by Professor F. G. Selby, M.A, Principal Deccan College, Poona, pointing out certain general resernblances and differences Letween old and new political theories of Europe, is a solitary work of the kind registered during the year under report. It is a reproduction of a learned lecture delivered before the Elphinstone College Union in December 1891, “From London to Samarcand," by C. E. Biddulph, is a book giving a very interesting account of the experiences of the author, an Anglo-Indian officer, on his journey Lack to India in 1890 (k)." Position of Zoroastrian (Fomen in remote antiquity,” by Dáráb Dastur Pesbotan Sanjána, is a book possessing mach antiquarian interest. It embodies a lecture delivered by the author in the Bái Bháikaiji Skápurji Bengáli Hall, of the Párki Girls' School at Bombay, and suggested, fist, by the general system of trainag imparted to Pársı girls in Bombay, and secondly, "by the common opinion of English writers on the history of civilization and morals that the civilized nation, of the East were, before the advent of Christianity into the world, quite unfamiliar with the lagbest and boblert ideas regarding woman, which are embodied in the New Testament " The aatbor bas, to a great extent, succeeded, by cting quotations from the sacred books of the Pársis and the Hindus, in showing that the opinion of the English writers that the Eastern civilizations took pery little into account the important part played by woman in achieving social happiness and moral regeneration of the human race, is not quite correct. Mr. Sanjana has sborn tbat the position of woman was bigh in ancient Irán; bat among the various quotations cited by him the reader looks in vain for one proving that the position of woman was on the same level with that of man, and that among the Zoroastuang the birth of a daughter was as welcome as that of a son. (1) "Carlyle on European Literature and Caltare," published by R. P. Karkaria, “Common Thoughts on Serious Subjects," by Chester Macnachten, M.A., Principal, Rajkumar College, anil "History of the Fortress of Gwalior," by Sbrimant Balrant Ráo Bhayásábeb Scindia, are the other importaut English publications of the year under review, 8. Gujaráti...Under the beading of Arls there is no book in this language deserving special mention, except a small work on the elements of agricultore, written by a practical farmer who has acquired some lnowledge of the principles of European riculture, and bas made an attempt to explain the subject in a scientific way. Indian farmers are illiterate men, and such publications can hardly be of any use to them unless and until primary education 19 made available to agriculturists' chuldren 10 every village, and the material condition of the farmers is improved, so as to exable them to make experiments of European agriculture ou ludian soil. A brief sketch of the life of the Honourable Mr. Dádál boy Naoroji, M.P., was the only Biographral publication of the year. There are numeroas gentlemen, past and present, both among the Gujarati, Hinda, and Pársi compimties, who bave made a name in private and public life, and good biographies can certainly be sitten of them with a rien to supply model lives for imitation by the rising generation Trauslations of saluable English lives can likewise be made thith much benefit. But it seems that the ralue of biography has not yet been adequately recognised by Gajaráti authors.

There rene niseter! {{rani:s in all, but very few of them displayeu ans dramatic skill os literary mrit. K. J. Bálivála's " Asláji” is, howerer, a good production, and is very popular among the Gujarati theatre-going public. Astáji, was a downright miser, who had fallen in love with a beautiful girl named Shirinlái, tho herself was in love rith Asláji's son Khorsbed. Tte miser tras encouraged in his aduresses by the young damsel, lat had ultimately to give up the idea of marrying her as she appeared to him to be very estruggant. The other dramas mbich possess some literary merit are the "Kundrálí" and the "Rasikwani,” prepared under the auspices of the Gujarati Natak Vandali, Bombas. Under Fiction, 85 books were registeral, of which were traoslations, 3 adapta. tions from populiar English story-books, and the rest mere original worki. Prominent sinong the translations is " Kathi Saritságar," or the C-20 of the streams of stories. This is a large book, and is a translation of a Sanscrit trork of the Mahi Kari Somder Bhat, said to have flourishtà in Kashmere at the end of the eleventh or the beginning of: twelfth century. The book contains a large collection of short, bat entertaining stories. « Tárábai " is a trinslation of the well-known English novel " Tiri," by Veadors Tavlor. " Katumbi Kathio," or family tales, is a translation of six English stories br a Pársi lady, Rupabai k. Dárásháji, and is pleasant nading. "Tolle 62:8," or the Wife's Murder, by Jinjubhii B. Tavali, is a translation of Vers... Gatorio's Mystery of Orsival, a French norel, translated into English. The original book itself is cf thrilling intrest, and the besuty of the original is well sustainal in the rursution.

B. Jarzban, and is sprure::els an adaptation of Jers. H. Wood's povel calli" Lond Oskbaru's Daughter." Apother novel written by the author is " Jilu Gorini, or Jilus the dauber Priest," which is an adant:ition of Helea Walker's story. The par!!el lives od 178:nousing are well illustrated in the characters of Jila and her sister." Virtosh Vája" c: Inn, eni Säjii, is ar.other Pärsi tale of equal interest with the alove.

"Sarasitari Chaadr, Part 11," is su origiaal porei rritten br Goraribanrım JI. Trisáthi, B... LL.B. Though the main plot progresses very little in tbis part, the thrilling interest of the first is creditably kept up to the end of this part. The maiu part of tuis book is takeu up in descriling lor an educated woman wanams it fast Hindu famils, consisting of several males and females of different dispositions and babits, and at the same time shows what a blessing she proves to her husband. Mr. Tripathi bas gives 30 excellezt picture of Gun Sundari, and the book is a valuabile contribution in Gujarati literatur. “Kamali Gouri and Pralbád" is a tale in which Pralkád runs smay from home to avoid being marrież to a girl selected by his father, and marries Esmali Gouri, an eiccated and disesses young girl. The tale condemns child-marriages and some other featers of Hindu s cial life, sod approves of female education to a limited estent. Of the remaining forks of comparatively less importance thau base already mentioned, it mar be summarily stated toat tro of them are historical tales describing the bravery of certain Rajput princes and princesses in their struggles with the Muhammadan kings of Delhi ; and that three oë them are short stories baring got so much of the murrellous 3rd the miraculous in theu ss to be of little interest to the render. On the whole, the morks of fiction are better than the dramas. The only Historic: tork deserving mention is " Rajasthan," or the Xatire States of India. It gives an account of almost all the Satire States in the several Presidencies of $300 ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. 23 India, and the necessary information being gathered from well-known English, Gujarati, and Urdu bookyón the subject, the look conveys mach information in one volume to the Gujaráti. reading public. The books under the heads of Language and Leu call for po remark Of the two hoobs registered under delicine, one is a revised and enlarged edition of the large and important compilation on the science of medicine in all its branches by T. M. Shah, Chief Medical Officer of the Junagad State, and the other is " Dhorda chepi rog avé te atkáv. vána iláj," or the Contagious Diseases of Cattle and the Means of Preventing their Spread Tha book, though small, is very useful to the cattle-kcepius classes, and is written by a graduate of the Bombay Veterinary College. The following are the most noticeable of the Miscellaneous publications - Yavabáro payogi váchan," or Advice useful in the Oldinary Concerns of Life, is a well-rendered transla. tion of " Common Thoughts oa Serious Subjects," a series of lectures given by C Macnaghteo, Principal of the Rajkumar College. The book is translated by Maháraja Shri Kesarisinhaji, KC S.I., of Idar, and contains sound thoughts on certain selected subjects "Nitisudhátaran. gini," or a River of the Nectar of Moralty, is a translation of a small tract on morality, illustrated with sliout stories from the Hindi Puráns. The original in Hindi 18 said to have been composed by Pundit Rámprosád Timáli by order of the Government of the North-West Provinces for the use of the Government schools in those parts. "Nátya Prakash," or a work on the art of compostos dramas, is a translation from a Sanscrit Jsook rendered by Ranchhodlal Udairám, Naib Diwán of the State of Cuteb, a reputed Gujarati author, who has publi hed as mauy as twenty works on verious subjects in Gujarátı. " Ajna Párszo, temno Dharına ane Sanaár," or the Pársis of the Present Day, their Religion and Social Life, 18 the production of an orthodox Zoroastrian. It is an attach upon the Pársz reformers who are accused of bavog failed to effect any real improvement in the community and of being the cause of the degeneration in morals, social customs, and material prosperity of the Pársi community. “Chio desta or Chupa" is a brief but interesting account of China and of the Chinese people by . Pársı author, who resided in that country far three years. The account is made up of the author's personal knowledge and some information derived from English books. The book 18 per baps the frst of its kind in Gujarati "Bbamini Bhusana," or Ornament of Womankind, 3 Part IV of the popular series witten by a learned. Hindu Ichatya, in wbich a large amount of advice, religious and moral, 18 ingeniously conto the readers by introducing a series of lnog kathás, or sermons read by a Brahmin Le'oie a ciowd of males and females The next book worth mentioning is "Kbojá Vrittánt," or an account of the Khojas, by Sachedu.. Nánjáci, Assistant Revenue Commissioner, Cuteb. The tradition is, as tho writer says, that the Lahána sect of the Hindus, so called from their being descended frora Lav, the sou of Rámá, the seventh incarnation of the Hindu god, founded the Ráthod kingdom of Kavauj, and one of their kings, called Jayachand, was murdered by a Mfalanmadan roman who had been forcibly brouglat by him from the harem of Shahabuddin Gory. The hing being killed by the bands of a Yawas, or foreigoer, the Hindu Brahmins and Ksbatryas refus d to take any part in his funeral ceremonies, and consequently they bad to leave the county and settle in Laurgadh, perhaps the modern Lakore. These Hindas of Lahore, as well as several others residing, in Sind and Kashmere, were, about 800 years ago, cleverly te noted to embrace the Isipkeli branch of the Shiah sect of Mubammadanism, by the Nazarı Caliphe, who, assuming to admire Hindu religion and Hindu balats, gradually dresy then to embrace their own forth. The Hindus thus couverted to Muhammdanism, are the present Khojas or Persian KbwájebThe religious progress of the community is intelligently traced in the book. "Nure hidayet" a small tract trying to show that certain three propbecies made bę Jesus Christ were not fulfilled, wbile three others made by the Prophet Jabomed were realized.

Among these there are two poems written by two different authors in ealogy of the Pársı firle Macbubái and Pirozbái, who fell from the Rájábái Torter on Saturday the 25th Apnl 1981, The writers are inclined to beliese that the deceased were victims of foul play, acd lost their D ·26 FUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1802. or lives Trhile trying to save themselves from being dishonoured. "Prachin Kávya Mála, Ancient Gujarati Poetical Series, pnblished by H. D. Kántáwála and N, P. Sbásóri, is a large and valuable addition to the Gujarati literature, and is published under the liberal patronage of H. H. the Gáekrar of Baroda. The nert work deserving special mention is the 'Mábri Majeh ane biji Kavitáo," or my recreation, and other poems by the late Jamshedji Nasarránji Petit, edited by J. P. Mistry, M.A. The learned editor, after giving a short life of the author, bas sritten an essay on poetry, and while eulogizing the peoms be edits, incidentally compares them with the works of Hindu poets, and finds fault with the whole stock of their poetry, saying that the so-called Hindu poets did not know what poetry is. Some of the pieces in Nr. Petit's work are translations of detached ideas from Shakespeare and Sheikh Saadi, while sereral others are original poems on various sabjects, such as nature, religion, patriotism, moralizations on certain events, and incidents of every-day life depicted with a lively imagination. The metrical arrangement of the pieces in this work is very defectire, thongh it appears that the author bas in some cases the Persian metres in view. The work is, no doubt, a good departure from the ordinary path, and affords a rough podel which future poets may well adopt in an improved form. Under Politics there was only one publication, "Rájdharma," or the Science of Politics, which is a translation of the well-known work "Prince" by Machiavelli, translated and published by order of His Highness the Gáektrar of Baroda. There were 11 Philosophical publications, most of which are expositions of the Vedántic pbilosopus, while one is an epitome of theosophical teachings. The single publication under Religion is a translation from Sanscrit, which explains the religious efficacy of reciting the sentence "Shri Krishna Sharnam Mama” or “Ye Krishna, I seek thy protection," bich is the chief tenet of the Hindu sect called Vaishnavas, The 13 publications under the head of Science (natural, mathematical, and mechanical) are all school manuals, the only exception being " The Rules and Principles of Land Rerenue Surrey in rogue in the Baroda State." There were no works registered under the head of Toyages and Trarels. 7. Hindi.-"Martini-Henry Lectures od Rifle Shooting," eridently a translation from an English Fork, is the only book entered under Arts. Among Dramatic works, the one deserving mention is Larnyawati, Sudarshana Natak, a tragedy in which a prince and a princess, who have never met before, see one another in dreams and fall in love. The prince setting out in search of the princess meets her and she is anxious to marry him, but he is soon beheaded by the father of the princess for presuming to love his daughter without his consent and the girl barns herself alire on account of grief for her lorer. Of the liscellaeors publications, "Pushkar Mabátmya” is a translation from Sanscrit and gives an account of Pushkar, a celebrated place of pilgrimage about 5 miles from Ajmere, and considered to be one of the most sacred places by the Hindus. The otber, "Dhuadhak hitshiksha," or Advice to Dhandhab, is a refutation of certain Jain doctrines mentioned in the Dayán Dipika, a book published by Brahmacbaridi Párrati, a female ascetic of the Dhundbak sect of Jainism. The refutation, it seems, is made by a follower of the Digambara sect of the same religon. The Poetical works of the language deal mostly with doctrines of Vedantism and certain Hinda gods and temples. Among these “Rudramálá' gives a brief description of the temple of Rudramálá in Sidhapur. This temple is said to have been begun by a predecessor of Sidhraj, king of Gujarát, and was completed by the latter at an enormous cost. The same tyas horrerer demolished by Alláudin Khuni, Emperor of Delhi, in 1365 A D. The torks under Philosophy are all on teachings of the Vedas. One of them shows how the human soul should hold communion rith, and be merged into, the Infinite Universal. Spirit, while another is a small tract on a similar subject said to bave been written by Kabir Kabir, who lived about the end of the 14th century, was a Muhammadan by birth, and as the most celebrated of the disciples of Rámánand, founder of the Hindu sect called Vaishnavism. He founded another sect called Kabirpanthi after his own pame. This sect does not observe all Hindu ceremonies, belieres in one God, and yet pays respect to Vishou as a form of the Supreme Being ·PÚBLICATIONS ISSTED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. 27 Ibe single religious publication under Religion is a treatise on the rights and ceremonies of Jainism 8. Kárkrest.--The number of Kapárese books registered in 1892 was very poor inderd, and all of them were school-looks intended for students of the lower educational standards, None of them call for any special notice. 2. Uldrrali.--Tho five publications in this language are love stories in verec of an indiferent type. One of them, “Kbyál Ratankanvarko," contains indecent allusions in a few places. 10. Marelli:Arts - There was only one book under this head, and that was "Chitrakalá, or the Art of Drating, Book I," by T. R. Koregaonkar, Drawing Master, College of Science, Poons. It contains instruction on free-ban.I and model drawing and practical geometry for the use of first grade examination candilates, Biography.--The utility of this branch of literature seems to be getting better apprrci. ated by Maráthi writers year by year. Eleven biographies were registered last year, of which eight were lives of Indian personages, one of George Washington, one of Jesus Christ, and one a medley of both Indaan and European lives, the two last-mentioned books containing allastru. tions. They may be brielly noticed as belove -Jforo Vithal Valrekar's "Life of George Washington " is intended to enlighten the native public on the subject of real patriotism and devotion to one's on country, and is a volume of 283 pages written in good Marathi. The "Life of Nána Phadasapis,” by Vásudev Váman Slástri Khare, is an interstog volume of 248 pages, written on the authority of old papers and records and English books. Nada Phadausvig was one of the "three-and-a-half” wisemen of the Peshma period, be being popularly considered only balf-wise : Sakhárím Bápu, Deváji Pant, and Vithal Sunder being considered entirely wise ; but the biographer, Dir. Khare, finds fault with this dutribution of wisdom, and says that persons calling Nává Phudanavis, wbo by hug incomparable atatesmanship and high intellectual abilities prevented irresistible enemies like the English from placing their foot in the Marátha Langdom for twenty years, a ball-wise mao must be themselves wise-and 2-half, or wiseacres The Honoarable Jr, Dádábhai Narroji's election as an M.P. by the constituents of Central Frasbury gave rise to his biography, writtea, though very shork, by two writers, both of whom bestow high praise upon the subject of their books for his disinterested services to India. Of these two biographies, that by the clitor of the Vadárásktra Kokil periodical is the best. The deaths of the Honourable Pandit Ayodhyánáta, Joint General Secretary to the Indian National Congress, Mr. Váman Sbirrim Apte, II.A, Principal, Fergusson College, Poona, and Mr. Javji Dádáji Chaudhari, JP, Proprietor of the Nirnaya Ságar Press, Bombay, were mourned by a large circle of friends and admirers and the general public, and gave birth to three more short biographics, which furnisha vimid examples of men of intelligence, perseverance, and patriotism. The late Balgiogaddar Sbím tri Jámlhekar's short life read at the Hindu Vaion CloB's literary meetings by Mr. Balkrisb. na Náráyan Der presents to the public a picture of a literary man of a bigh degree of intelligence and benevolence respected both by the European and Natire gentlemen of his time, Mr. Bálgangádhar was a Brálman by caste and Glled high ollices to the Edacational Depart. ment. Ile was appointed Professor of Slathematics at the Elphiostone Instatation at the early age of twenty. He was the first Native Professor. Mr. Dádíbhai Narroji, M.P., who was also a Professor, was one of Mr Jámbhekar's distinguished pupils. This life is highly interesting and instructive. "The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ " is very well got ap and mntains coloured illustrations of the sarious incidents of tbe Sarioar's touching lile, which are more cloqueat than the letter.press itself. Dramo.-The Poona Night Clab, or association for the derelorment of Blarithi literature, is one of the ecteral agencies that are endeavouring to earich Maráthi literature, and Las hitherto pablished four works, the last of wbich is an historical drama entitled "The Rass Bhimdey, or a true Rajput,” This is like the other works of the Night Clcb, a well watten romantic drama which presents an historical tale of brave and chiralric deeds.

The “Champa Náták,” is another historical drama depicting hostilities between Tippu Saltán and the Chief of Nargund in the Southern Marátha Country. In this drama the heroine Champa, a beautiful and brave young lady, is represented as risking her life for the sake of that of her dear husband and patron, the Chief of Nargund. The drama is on the whole a well-written performance by Balvant Ragvnáth Limaye, of Nargund. “Márvádyánchen Kasab," or a dramatic representation of the indebtedness of the agriculturists, exposes the tricks practised by the money-lending Márvádis in the Deccan in their dealings with the Marátha peasantry, who are described to be simple and guileless and falling easy victims to their sordid creditors. The book gives a good picture of the present state of things in agricultural life, and is dedicated by permission to Ráy Baládur Mahadev Govind Ranade, C.I.E., Special Judge under the Deckan Agriculturiste' Relief Act. “Sangit Vikrama Shashikalá Nátak "is a drama based on a traditional story of Shashikala, wife of king Vikramn, the founder of an era bearing his name, of which the current is the 1914th year, and which is prevalent in Gujarát and Northern India. Sasikalá proved by her cleverness the vanity of the boast of her husband that his prowess was more potent and brighter than the doings of a She is represented to have gone incognito to heaven, and there by means of her blandishments gained the affection of her husband, who had gone there on a visit to Indra, and who had imprisoned Shashikalá with a view to prevent her from showing her cleverness, and was under the impression that she was in confinement, while really he was being fascinated by her in the guise of a heavenly nymph. The drama is to be noted rather for the occasional coarseness of sentiments depicted therein than for its literary merits. For the last year it has been frequently represented on the stage and has engaged the attention of illiterate men and women of Bombay. Most of the remaining dramas are ordinary and call for no special notice. Fiction.-A goodly number of uovels and works of fiction were registered last year. Some of them were translations or adaptations from English, some from Persian and some from Sanscrit; only a few were really original. No sericus esception can however be taken to any of them which are more or less interesting to readers of different tastes. A few of them deserve special notice as giving a notion of some of the ideas current among It is very generally believed that English books on Indian history and on the character and achievements of noted historical personages and the extracts given in Government schoolbooks from such historical works give a very preju liced and partial view of India and her noted personages, and hide the weak points and faults of the British Indian administration and Anglo-Indian statesmen and soldiers. Some of the modern educated Native gentlemen are considered ignorant of the real history of their country, and are charged with traducing their own countrymen, who distinguished themselves in civil and military departments under Native rule, in slavish imitation of English authors. To do justice, therefore, to Indian kings, warriors, and statesmen, old manuscript chronicles anıl ballads are being searched and published, and some original works of an historical nature being written. “Rádhá and Krishnaráv," an ipteresting novel, is an instance in point. It gives a tale of the mutiny ju the Southern Marátha country in 1857, and maintains that the reason why Bába Sábeb, Chief of Nargund, took part in the Indian mutiny of 1857, is that he was refused permission by the British Government to adopt a son and heir to his State. The " Sundari” is a tragic love tale of a beautiful girl who committed suicide iu consequence of her being not permitted by her father to marry a young man of her own choice and being pressed to marry a rich man whom she did not love. In India marriages are generally arranged by parents; and the marrying parties, who are very young, have little chance to make their own choice, and the “Sundari” illustrates one of the effects of English education on the minds of Indian young men who have been taught to dislike early marriages and to favour marriages at a grown-up age when the parties are in a position to make their own selection. The "Bribát Katha Ságar, Part IV," by Váman Shastri Islámpurkar, is an historical romance and gives tales composed from material found in Sanscrit. It is conservative in character and draws a picture of the old order of things. The story of Arthlobha, Mánapará and Sukhadhana given in this book points out that in ancient India disputes were sometimes decided by resort to duels between the disputing parties. the people.

·PÚBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. 29 History-Of the 11 historical publications, 9 are secular and 2 religious. The former are all on Indian bistory and historical personages 'The four tracts pablished by Janárdat Mabádey Gurjar, Bookseller of Bombay, entitled " Javánmarda Maráthe Gadi, 2 Jánkoji Shiods," " Javármarda Maráthe Gadi, 1 subbedár Halharráo Holkar," " Haráthyarchyá Mardomki," and "Shar Abalá," or Brave Tomen, are reprints from the Kerari newspaper, and are written in a vigorous style, idiomatic language, and a patriotic spirit. The writer of them has been apparently inspired with a patriotie spirit by the publication of Mr. Acworth's Povádás or ballads, the language of wbich is vigorous and which occasionally contain reflections on the British Government. In one place Malbártáv Holkar's hfe contajes a statement that brave me like bim conot get opportunities of distingur-hing themselves ander the Briti-h Government, which can at most give empty titles of Ráo Sáheb and Ráo Bahálur to their fatterers. Another work which calls for spre al mention is & revised edition of a Maráthi version of Cirant Daff's History of the Maráthás published by Tukáiam Jávji. Of the religious bistorical books mentioned abore, Bába Padmanji's "Internal History of the Christian Church during the first three centuries" gives much interesting information. Language.--"Rasaprabodha," by Balsaptráo Kamalábar Mákode, is the only work worth notice under this head It is a small work on rhetoric, illustrating the different sentiments and figures of speech by reference to quotations from standard poets. The rest are books iotende for little school children. Loo. These books were translations from corresponding English publications, and they call for no remarks. Medicine.ith one exception the works registered under this head, 9 in number, are compilations by persons whose credentials as physicians are of a doubtful nature, none of them being known as medical practitioners One of them is a pleader damed Vásudev Chintaman Bápat, of Nánngre, in the Ratnagiri district, who often advertises Rambar or specific medicines. The prognosis and prescriptions given by them may be very likely from Sanscrit works on medicine, but their authorities bave nowhere been quoted. The one exception above referred to is a small work on the practice of homeopathic medicine entitled " Homeopathic Chikitsásár" by Krishnaráv Baburao Bulel, M.D. Aliscellaneous.— This is the largest sob-head, comprising Járji Dadájı's and his son Tulárám Jváji's 19 publications of small tales from the vast Hindu legendary lore, 7 tracts of the Family Printing Press on Hinda bolidays and observatices; 15 Christian missionary publications, such as translations of Reverend J. Marray Mitchell's letters to Indian Youlbs; Reverend Nehemuh Goreb's Tenets of Tulárám, maintaining that Tulárám, the great saint and poet of Maháráshtra, had no knowledge of true religion; Reverend Bába Padmanji's reply to Brahmanical, Geological and Therstical objections against the Bible, and his "Vedic Hinduism," maintaining that the Vedas are not a revelation from God, as the Hindus believe i Reverend Kássim Jahored's"Notes on Mohammadanism;" the Christian Literature Society's “Christianity explained to a Hindu," etc.; Hinda Union Club's lectures on such subjects as " Is our Vernacular capable of obtaining a place in the University curriculum," by Professor Rájárám Rámkrsebna Bhágvat; "Human Philosophy," by Dr. K. R. Kirtikar, etc.; some banks of "The series for the amelioration of womankind," by C. V. Vardya, M A., LL.B., such as No. 3 on infant marriage and its evil results, add No. 4 stating that infart mariage is not sanctioned by the Hindu seriptures; books of Janárdan Mabádev Gurjtr's library for little children ; an account of the Thápa District written by the late J. B. Moduk, B.A., on the authority of the Bombay Gazetteer; Bhimrao Sztárám Sháligram's "Bombay Trade," and many others, pembering in all 86 publications. Poetry.Thirty-two works were registered under this bead, Alany of them are small poems composed by new versifiers and are little distinguishable from prose except in respect of their garb. There is not that richness of imagery, that strength of pathos, and that origioality of conception, which are the characteristics of real poetry. They are mere metrical compositions embodying ordinary thoughts on ordinary subjects If any of them are interest. ing, they are so because of the nature of the narrative which they give, and not because of any manifestation of poetical genius which represents even every-day affairs in & striking and original manner. Of these, the best in their way are the Páryati Prakop, or the fierce 1000- dation of the Tárvati or Pauza river in Khándesh in 1872, by Hari Krishna Dámle; "The ·11 1 30 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTEIN Nemi Duta Kávya," by Hirachand Nemchand, and the Shochya Mrityulokavás, or deplorable mundane life, by Vishnu Ganesh Nene. Of the revised editions of old poets registered for their notes were poems of Moropant, entitled Rámáyana, Krishna Vijaya, Mahabhúrát Ádiparva, and Mahabhárát Sabháparva, edited with critical and explanatory notes; the first tbree by Janárdan Báláji Modak, B.A., and the fourth by Váman Dáji Oka, and published by the proprietor of the Nimaya Ságar Press. Politics. The two works under this bead are good and useful books. One is an address read by Mr. Damodar Ganesh Padbye, M.A., late Acting Professor of History, Elphinstone College, Bombay, at the Hindu Union Club, on the subject of the growth and present form of the British Political Constitution. It is a soberly and intelligently written cssay intended for the guidance of the Indian National Congress and its advocates in their movements for more political power to the Natives of India. The other work is a translation of Mfr. Fawcett's Political Economy by Mr. A. N. Fansalkar, which has been well esecuted and deserves patronage. Philosophy.—Three rorks under this bead, namely, "Nitimimánsí," or Principles of Justice ; "Nitimimánsá, Part I," or a Study of Morality, by Chintáman Gangadhar Bhánu, B.A., and "Swántantrya,” or Liberty, by Náráyan Lakshman Tadke, B.A., are very valuable books to Marathi readers. The first is a free translation of Herbert Speucer's “Justice" with frequent references to India and Indian literature. The second is an adaptation of Spencer's “Data of Ethics," and the third is a trauslation of Mill's "Liberty," with copious explanatory notes. All of them are productions of much industry and pereeverance, and will serve to enlighten the native public on political and other rights which bave of late ec much agitated it. Religion.- The four works registered under this bead are translations of portions of the Bible, and are written in bad Maráthi, bardly, intelligible to one speaking pure Maráthí; the Alibág Mission Series, No. 2, a now Marathi translation of the Epistle to the Ephesians by a Native missionary, being the rorst of all so far as literary mcrits go. It would appear that, with a view to reach the hearts of non-Christians, books must be written in their pure vernacular, and not in a broken dialect, as the sentiment loses balf its beauty by being obscurely and incorrectly conveyed in broken language. Science (Natural and Mathematical). There were 8 publications in this class, all of them being useful for students. Professor Báláji Prabbákar Modak's "Padárth Varnana,” the late Professor Kero Lakshman Chhatre's “ Physics," revised and enlarged by Moro Ballál Dhérap, and Dattatreya Keshav Shrikhande's " Arithmetic, Part I," being the most prominent. Poyages and Travels.-Nil. 11. Sindi (Hindu and Arabic).-The Hindu-Sindi books are small tracts of not muce importance. In Arabic-Sindi some of the educational books are important. "Inglandi Tavárikh," or the History of England, by Bolchand Kodumal Jagatáni, is a large and well written compilation of 567 pages. Pritamdás Kismatrái Toláni's History of India has gone through the second edition, and is a useful publication. "Illme Hayát and "Ilme Kimiya" are good science primers on astronomy and chemistry, being translations from English standard authors. “Sindi Yusuf Zalekhá Manzum” is a story of the Prophet Joseph and bis wife Zalekhá, as given in the Kuran and has much religious interest. The rest of the books call for no notice. 12. Urdu.--Urdu literature still remains in a very backward state, and love and religion are the subjects generally dealt with by the Mubammadan writers. With the esception of 4 books on Arts, which treat of military tactics, including the duties of guards and sentries, written mostly by subhedárs and haváldárs of the Native army, almost all are devoted to religion or love. The % books under Biography, 3 under Religion, and nearly half of the 26 under Poetry, treat of religion directly or indirectly, the usual subjects being the life and achievements of Prophet Mahomed, tenets of the Moslem faith, and plaintive songs sung during the Mubaram festival. There is one book under Poetry called "Makbzane Ejáz," or a Book of Miracles, which recites the praises of the prsent Mulla or religious head of the Bora community, and describes two miracles of the former Mulla, one performed during his lifetime and the other occurring after his death. The rest of the books under Poetry were ghazals, or ordinary love songs. - 13. Brij.-Of the four works published in this language, one is a description in verse of the celebration of certaia festivals of the god Ránghath and the goddes Goda in Vindravan, ·PULICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892, 31 6 another is a collection of a number of songs in praise of the god Rámá, written by Talsidás, a celebrated devotee of Rámá, and the remaicing two are two editions of different sizes of a work by one and the same author, containing the well-known Hinda epic, the Rámáyana.. 14. Konkanin.-There was one work, “ Historia Do Imperador Carlos Magno" in the Konkanin language, wbich is a history of Charlemagne of France, translated from Portuguese by S S. DeJesus Dias. 15.

Hebrew.-Of the four Hebrew books of the year, one 13 an elementary primer intended for beginners of the Hebrew language, containing the alphabet, short reading lessons, and some extracts from the Bible. The other three books contain prayers for the New Year's Day and the Day of Atonement, according to the rites and ceremonies of the Sephardeem, or the Spanish and the Portuguese Jews. They contaia extracts from the best poetical compobitions by several eminent Spanish poets of the House of Israel who lived in the middle ages. 18 Persian.-Only four books were published in this language, of which the one desery. ing notice is "Jehángir Námeh," or an Account of Jebangir, which relates the valorous deeds of Jebángir and his father Rustim, chiefly during the wars between the Iranians and Terápians 19. Sanscrit.-With a few exceptions, which are small tracts in praise of this or that ...du god, the Sanscrit books are all re-publications of old works not previously published, or, il so published, with new commentaries, notes, etc. Among the origioal poems there is one called “Victoria prashasti," or an Eulogium on Victoria, composed by Pandit Vaijanáth Shastri, of the Native State of Dewas, which gives a short life of Her Imperial Majesty Queen Victoria in commemoration of Her Majesty's Jubilee in 1887. The poem 18 a work of much literary merit. Among the re-publications the "Brahma sutras" of Krishna Dvaipayana, the Vaiyásıkanyáyamála of Bhárratitirthamuni and Jayamini Yanyáyamálá of Madbaváchárya, Nos. 21, l'art II, 23 and 24 of the Anandashrama Sanscrit series published by Mr. Mahadev Chimnáji Apte, B.A, LL.B ; the “Vyákarana-Mehábbáshya" of Patanjali, edited by F Kelbor, Ph.D.; the "Sáraswatam Vyákáranam, published by Shá Fhimasınhamáuk, and the Kavya Mála, Nos 24 and 25, are large works on Vedanta philosophy, grammar and poetry, and can be used only by Saoscrit scholars. Another republication requiring special mention on account of the pature of the subject it treats of 18 entitled Shri Vátsyāyanapranıta Kámosutram," and is accompanied by a commentary and is intended for private circulation only. It is printed at the Nircayaságar Press, Bombay, for Pandit Durgáprasáda, and is an elaborate work on securing and retaining love of women and on the various means and methods to be used in its attainment and enjoyment. In fact, it has made love affair into a science, and if it had been a work in vernacular ate publisher would never have escaped criminal prosecution. 20. English and Gujarati.-Four out of the 8 publications in this group are small English and Gujarati, and Gujaráti and English dictionaries. One is a small collection of Gujarati proverbs with their English translation, and three are vocabularies of school books. 21. English and Warátkı.-All the books in this combination of languages were either glossaries or potes on school-books, intended for httle children, R. B. Josbi's English Companion to Marathi Grammar alone being intended for candidates for the Matriculation and University School Fıal Esaminations. The Companion contains an introductory chapter on the origin and sources, and a short bistory, of the Maráthi language, and is on the whole a good book. 22. English and Zend. The book under the head describes the funei al ceremonies of the l'ársis, their origio and explanation, together with a short account of their Tower of Silence. The author, a Pársi graduate, after descubing the ceremonies, draws the conclusion that "at the bottom of all religious injunctions and restrictions in connection with the funeral ceremonies and the disposal of the dead body, ltes the sanitary principle of segregation and prevention of contamination and infection, and the idea of observing simplicity and equality."

·32 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERI year, vie. 23. Burmese and Gujaruli.-A new bi-lingual group has to be noticea, this Burmese and Gujarati, a happy result of the annexation of Burma to India. It is only a small vocabulary of some Burmese sentences, with their Guj ıráti equivalents, intended fòr traders and others desirous of picking up colloquial Burmese, 24. Urdu and English._Uuder this group one is a vocabulary of a number of Urdu words with their English equivalents, while the other, “Hindustani without a Master," is a small book treating of the verbal system and parts of speech, together with several English and Hindustani sentences. The book is said to be written in accordance with the system followed in Dr. Bhándárkar's First Book of; Sanscrit, and Henry's First Book of Latin, and is designed for civil and military officers preparing for Hindustani examinations, 27. Persian and English. Almost all the 5 books under this head are very useful "The publications, and much labour seems to have been bestowed on their preparation. Student's Enlarged English-Persian Dictionary,” by S. B. Doctor, Assisinnt Teacher, Elphini. stone High School, supplies a want long felt by the Indian students of Persian, and will render material help to them. The "Gems of Persian Prose acd Poetry," which contains a collection of selected prose and poetical passages from well-known Persian writers, such as Saddi- Firdusi, and others, is intended as a test-book for Matriculation classes, and is prepared by J. B. Kánga and P. K, Kánga, authors of the excellent Persian Grammar called “Ilints on the Study of Persian." The last-mentioned book reached its fourth edition during the last year. « Persian Prosody;" written by K. NI. Jhaveri, M.A., Senior Hellor, Elphinstone College, is also a very useful book to tlie more advanced students of the language. Of the rest, one gives a number of modera Persian idioms and proverbs, while two are small treatises on Persian Grammar. 26. Sauscrit and English. In this combination the most prominent publications are No. XLIII of Bombay Sanscrit Series, being a hand-book to the Study of the Igreda, Part II, by Professor Peter Peterson, M.A., D.Sc., and Kalhana's Rájatarangini, or Chronicles of the Kings of Kashmir, edited by M. A. Stein, Ph.D., Principal, Oriental College, Jahore. The first of these contains the Seventh Mandala of the Rigveda, with the Commentary of Sáyaua, with a critical note and a preface, in which latter the editor explains why be has adopted in some cases readings different from those which are to be found in Max Muller's edition of the Rigveda and Sáyana's Commentary. The metrical form in which the test is reproduced in this edition is an improvement which will be welcomed by Sanskritists in general. The other trork, viz. the Chronicles of the Kashmirian Kings, is a reprint from the most autheutic manuscripts available, and contains short explanatory notes on various other readings found in other manuscripts. It is a big work containing eight tarangas, or parts, and possesses much interest of antiquarian and philological nature. The other works in this group are books of humbler pretensions, being useful for college students. 27. Sanscrit and Gujaráti.- Tith three exceptions the books comprised in this combination are of a religious, or quasi-religious nature. They contain original Sanscrit texts, trith vernacular translation. A desire seems to have been awakened in the native people to know what their Sanscrit literature contains, and hence there are many attempts made to translate Sanscrit works. Hitherto the people have said their morning and evening prayers and performed religious rites rithout caring much for their meaning ; but now the contact in which they have come with Western education has created in them a desire to understand them, and so the present may be said to be the translation epoch in the literary history of the country. The Bhagavat, in three parts, published with Gujarati translation by Mr. Kesliavlál Harirám, ouder the auspices of the Veda Dharma Sabba, of which Messrs. Prabhurám Jivanrám and Jaskrislina Vyás are learned members, is a very well got up work. Of the three excepted works, two are medical works, viz. the " Harita Sanlita" and the "Sárangadhar Sanbita," rith Gujarati translations. Both tliese original works are standard medical authorities, and their Gujarati translations will prove very useful. 'I'be Vidhava Vapan Nishedha, by Shukla Chandra Shankur Bhima, is the only book on social reform which maintains that there is no sanction in the Hindu Scriptures for the shaving of ridors' heads. 28. Sanscrit and Hindi.--Most of the rorks in this collection are Hindi transla. tione of Sauscrit tests on various subjects, handsomely printed at the Vyankateshwar Press, Bombay, which has been doing a great deal for some years past by way of publishing ·XUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. 33 Sanscrit pocks bitherto unpablished and openiug the rich treasures of that classical language to Hindi readers by means of Hindi translations, 29. Sanscrit and Marálhi.-Some of the books in this group are very useful to persons who speak the Marathi language and are ignorant of Sapserit. As, for instance, Bába Padmauji's "Sanscnt-Marathi Dictionary” (for the use of schools and families), which is a pocket dictionary, and which, the author says, includes all the Saoscrit words, with almost all their significations used in the Marathi language. Similar Persian-Maráthi, Arabic-Marathi, and other dictionaries would be valuable auxiliaries for the study of Marathi, The A'rogyaprakásh and the Gunadosłaprakásh, by Rangnáth Sakhárám Lele Kıksikar, a translator and compiler of several other works on Indian medicine, are works which will be found of much practical utility to Native physicians who are igaorant of Sanscrit, the language in which the original works are writter. The first contains a programme for the day which a man should follow from sunrise to sunrise with a view to keep good health, with its modifications suited to the different seasons of the year. This programme, if strictly followe!, would, it seems, keep a man, particularly in Jodia, free from a large portion of the thousınd-and-one ailings wbich he is subject to. The other look states, with quotations from Sauscrit works, the properties of medical drugs and edilles. In the philosophy section of this group are two tracts by Mr. Vyankatrão Rámchandra, Goveromeot Pleader and Law Professor at Poona, who has found ample leisure wbile parguing his legal profession to write on various subjects, such as natural philosophy, law, Vešánt pbilosophy, ete, books wbich are very valuable. Ia birs " Upanishat Sangrahı, Shiksbávallı," Mr. Vyankatráo gives, first, a brief description of various places in India visited by prous Hindus and a pilgrimage to wbich makes, in the opinion of the author, a man's mind pure and fit to anderstand and attain salvation ; and, secondly, the text and commentary, with translations of the Shakshávalli, a Sanscrit work on transcendental plulosophy. His 'Vedantasár' is also a work on Hiodu philosophy, treativg of such sublime themes as whence has man come, where is he going, and what is bis duty 10 this world. The “Vashyabrahma Kalotsába," by Náráyan Rávji Shastri Kshirtágar, is a treatise of a contro versial character, which tries to prove by quotations from shrutis, sarities, and puránas, by edicts from Sanlaráchárya, the head spiritual guide of the Hindus, and hy decisions of British officers and courts of justice that the Kauadı Panchal Sonárs, or goldsmiths, are Bráhmane, and are entitled to the Brahman religious puvileges. Such controversies bave of late been started in large numbers and are signs of the re-action which has commenced, of the Bráhmanical intinence and superiority said by non-Brálmans to be arrogantly and selfishly assumed. 30. Zendi-Persian-Gujarált. Under this groạp there is a book sritten by J. J. Mody, which contains a vocabulary of the names of ferons, places, and religious implements, occurring in the Zend Avesta. The compilation is the result of a reward of 8500 advertised by Ardeshir Sorabji Dastur Kammadiona, a member of the committee of the Moola Firooz Madrissa or College. A good deal of labour has been spent on the work, and it will be found to be a valuable aid to the students of the Zeud Ayasta. 31. Periodicals.—The periodicals form by no means a small or unimportant portion of the entire annual literature of the Presidency They are, in the majonty of cases, conducted by abler men, and are contributed to by learned contributors. The English periodicale generally contain original matter, while the Marathi and Gujarati ones publish translations and ancient classical works as well as original matter, The English periodicals may be divided into Political, such as the Quarterly Journal of the Poopa Sárvajanik Sabha and the English Opinion on India; Antiquarian, as the Indian Antiquary and the Onentalist; Scientific, as the Jourpal of the Hombay Natural History Society and the Journal of the Anthropological Society of Bombay; Industrial, as the Indian Textile Journal and the Industrial Quarterly Keview; Educational, as the Bombay Educational Record, the Teacher and the Studeut's Friend; Religious, as the Bombay Diocesan Record, the Christ Church, Mhow, the Culture, the Holy Trinity Church, Karacbi, and the Bombay Church Missionary Gleaner; Theosophical, as the Pauses; Military, as the Lancashire Lad, and Medical, as the Doctor's Magazine The missionary periodicals, the Pauses and the Doctor's Magazine, are the new features of the year, The "Pauses," publisbed by Mr. DI, N. Shroff, is a periodical of high order, end supplies material for thought and reflection on the most abstruse subjects of religou and pbilo. sophy. It serves to explain to Europeans the syetems of plulosophy, morality, and religion prevailing in the East, and Western scholars, like Professor Deussen, who recently delivered a z ·34 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1894 lecture in Bombay on the doctrines of Vedantic philosophy as propounded by Shankaracharya, will find in this periodical much interesting reading. The Doctor's Magazine," published by Dr. Krishnarao Nadkarni, is also a good periodical and supplies a lony-felt desideratum, It often takes extracts from the "Lancet." The Gujaráti periodicals may be divided into Literary 11, Literary and Scientific 3, Agricultural 1, Educational 2, Instruction of women 2, Jain Philosophy 1, A’rya religion 1, Reformation of particular castes 3, industrial 1, and fiction 1. Of these periodicals those written by tbe Pársis are almost entirely devoted to fictitious novel-writing (much of it being translation or adaptation), clever repartees, espressions of wit and humour, puzzles, and such other subjects of light interest, while those written by their Hindu brethren contain essays upon moral subjects, original poems of a high order, and exposition of religion. There is one very ably conducted periodical entitled "Budubi Parkash, or the Light of Knowledge, which is published by the Gujarat Vernacular Society, Ahmedabad. This Society, which has got 100st of the literate men of Gujarát as its members, has got large funds at its disposal, which are used in giving handsome rewards to writers of essays and original works upon advertised subjects or to translators of particular English and Sanscrit works. Besides the Budhi, Prakásh, A’rya Dharma Prakásh, or Light of the A’ryan Religion, Dnyána Sudha or Nectar of Koowledge, Gulafshán or Rose Sprinkler, Nure-elm or Light of the World, Másik Majáh or the Monthly Amusement, and Fursad or Leisure, are all well conducted in their own respective provinces. Of the Marathi periodicals, 8 tvere Literary, 2 Scientific, 2 Agricultural, 3 Educational, 2 Fiction and Drama, 2 Medical, 4 published old poetical works, 1 contained instruction to women and 1 religious matters. All these periodicals supply very good reading and call for no fresh notice, as they have been described at length in previous reports. The tiro Sanscrit periodicals published old poems and detached verses. The bi-lingual periodicals contained miscellaneous matters, such as translations on medical, philosophic, and literary subjects. The new Sanscrit and Maráthi periodicals of the year were the "Eknathi Bhagwat " and the “Chitsadánand Labari or Rangnáathswami's Vernacular Commentary on the Bhagwat Gitá.” Both these reproductions are works of a high order of literary merit and provide food for serious thought. 32. The number of works registered for copyright during the year under report was 322, of which 274 were private and 48 Government publications. 33. General remarks. The review taken in the foregoing paragraphs will show that a pretty large amount of intellectual activity was put forth during the year under report. It is bowever to be regretted, though the regret is vain, that much of this exercise of the brain is necessitated by the multiplicity of tongues spoken in the Presidency. Though there is a goodly number of books published every year in the different languages taken collectively, the share that falls to each of them singly is poor. The same work is required to be done over again for each of the different dialects. A history of England, for instance, in Marathi is quite useless to communities speaking Gujarati, Kanárese, Sindhi, Hindi, avd a host of other languages, each of them being required to have a "History of England” of its own. This fact of the diversity of tongues is mentioned here, not because it is possible to remove the difficulty by making the whole country speak one mother tongue, though it is a consummation very much to be desired, but because it goes a long way to explain the existing poor condition of the literature of each pernacular. The reading public for each language being limited, the circulation of a book in any given language is also limited, and the author does not get adequate patronage. Another circumstance which narrows the extent of the circulation of books is the limited spread of primary education in the country, which needs much greater expansiou and development than it bas hitherto admitted of. A reference to the quarterly catalogues of registered books will show that few books have an edition of more than a thousand copies, and it is doubtful whether even all these copies are sold. Another fact that strikes a reviewer in his retrospect of the annual literature of the Presidency from year to year is that the literature is not sufficiently diverse and vigorous in character, but is monotonous and slowly plodding its way. Very few writers seem to know much beyond the ordivary subjects, such as early and widow marriages, love intrigues, praises of the various gods and goddesses, legeudary lore, etc. India, having come into contact with a 'highly ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1992. 35 civilised pation is at present in the enjoyment of comforts and conveniences of life which she never ſeven dieamt of poder Native rule, such as railways, tramways, telegraphs. telephones, steam-engines, printing-presses, mills, factories, and other things too numerous to mention, and get the Native writers seem to boot very little of these things, and seldom, it ever, think of writing on them. The cause of this state of things is not far to seek, The jotellects that are working to develop the literature of the coun*ry do not rery often belons to the bighly educated class, and the leading intellects do not devote much of their time and energy to the enrichment of their vernacular literature. The pumber of graduates in the Medical, Engineering, Agricultural, law and Science faculties of the University that bare contributed anythrog to the annual stock of vernacular literature is almost wil. There are here and there a few gradaates in Arts who have contributed some productions, bat the Art* of which they are Bachelors and Masters being the liberal arts and not either the usrful mechanical and industrial arts or the fine arts, they can take but very little part in techpical literature which seems to be the greater need of the country in its present circumstances. Moreover, having received their education in the English language, the study of which takes up much of their school and college course, very few of them can write in their vernaculars even on the liberal arts The result of this that veroacular literature is neglected, and has mainly to depend on third and fourth-rate men. This suggests two questions, wbether the University should not recognise the vernaculars, and whether the conferring of honours and higher degrees of all kinds should not be made dependent on the writing of good vernacular books by the candidates in their respective lines in order to stimulate the development of vernacular Iterature. Speaking generally, the tone of the publications was voobjectionable. One of them, bowever, entitled "Khyál Ratanlanvarlo," or a song about Ratanlanvar, contained in some places indecent allusions.

Officiating Director of Pablic Instruction, Bengal, to the Secretary to the Gorernment of Benga!, General Department, No. 1410, dated Calcutta, the 11th March 1893. I have the honour to forward, berewith, a very interesting Report on the Bengal Library for 1992, drawn up by Pandit Hara Prosad Shastri, MA, Bengal Librarian REPORT ON THE BENGAL LIBRARY FOR 1892. The namber of publi-ations received in the Beagal Library during the year 1992 15 2,875. Of these, 423 are periodicals and 1,252 bohs. The number of periodicals bas increased, as the oigins of muy of the religious sects were never received in previous years. Though the last of registration is strict, still it is believed that maos publications escape registration. The matter has been brought to the notice of the Inspector General of Registra. tion, and it is receiving lits serions consi leration. The character and scope of the publications will appear from the following analysis : Art.-The only work of importance under this head during the year is a work on mulc entitled Sangit Tínsen, by Babu Harish Chandra Datta. 'The bok has been named after the great musxian of Akbar's Court, Jlisnán Táusen, who, th'ugh Lorna Bráliman, is converted to lubamin ndaniom, se he was the disciple of a Jlu-alman fakir, and 15 said to linte died of the fire produced in his lungs while singing the high notes of the Dipata Tiág. The book bas been divided into seven chapters. The first clapter gives the bistory of Ilodu music; the second defines musical terms; the third teaches the practice of the use of the resen sounds; the fourth, notations of the Rági asd Ráginís; in the fifth and tirth is taught the art of playing on various instroments, and in the seventh are given lipda religious songs log ·44 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892 Munshi Vilayet Hossain of Sealdal. The writer is very careful in consulting his authorities and translating extracts from them. These authorities, again, are purely of Hindu and Sanscritic origin. Biography.--Of biographical works the most important is the Life of the late Pandia Prem Chánd Tarkavágísha, by his brother Babu Ramakshaya Chatterji. The Tarkavágísht was a man profoundly learned in Sanscrit literature. He was the first Bengali Professor of Rhetoric in the Sanscrit College of Calcutta. He was a ready wit, and the suavity of bis temper endeared him to all his pupils for a period extending over more than thirty years. He was a master in the art of composition of Sanscrit verses, and his commentary on the first half of the Naishadha Charita, by Shríharshi, is everywbere regarded as a work of the highest authority. His brother, Babu Rámáksbaya, is a retired Deputy Magistrate and a gentleman of cultivated tastes. Though the biography which he has written is a biography of bis brotber, whom he loved and revered, there is nothing in the work which does not interest the general reader. The Life of the late Mr. Justice Dwáraká Náth Mitra, by Babu Kálíprasanna Datta, is the second work on the subject. The biographer does not go deep into the history of the times, into the education and culture of his hero, but he gives a delightful varrative of the life of one the brilliancy of whose intellectual attainments, the sounduess of whose judgments, and the simplicity of whose character and manners, made him the admired of all admirers during his life-time. The anecdotes collected in this work bearing on the character of the late Mr. Justice Mitra are charming and full of high instruction. There are many traits of character in Justice D. N. Mitra which young Bengal would do well to imitate. Babu Dhana Krishna Adhikāri, of Rambhită in Waldab, las published an interesting biography of Rúp and Sanātan, two remarkable Bengalies of the fifteenth century. They trere brothers and Bráhmans of Kaidáta extraction. They were trained in their early life in all the standard Sanscrit works on Law, Rhetoric, Literature, and Philosophy. However, Hushaid Shál the Great, the most powerful of the independent Pathán Sultans of Bengal, induced them to accept service under bim, and with their aid consolidated bis power to so great ao extent as to enable him to lead armies against the neighbouring states of Assam, Orissa, and Behar. But service ander a Alechha soon appeared to be galling to the brothers, who, though the highest functionaries in the realm, considered themselves to be degraded by their contract with Musalmans, and as soon as Chaitanya made his appearance at Gaur, they fler to bim and renounced the world. Chaitanya employed them in writing works in Sauscrit for the propa. gation of his religion, and they wrote forty-two works on a variety of subjects. These are still the standard works on Chaitanya Vaishnavism. They survived Chaitanya many years, and settled the doctrines, dogmas, rites, and ceremonies of the followers of Chaitanya. The biographer bas collected some local information about Sanátau which are very interesting. He has found some documents with Sanátan's siguature. Curiously enough, the signature is preceded by the epithet Go-brahmana pratipálaka, the Protector of Coms and Bráhmans, and this, when the reigning monarch was a Musalman, speaks highly of the esteen in which Sanatan yas beld. Acharyya Keshava Chandra is an elaborate account of the late Babu Kesuara Chandra Sen's life, published under the authority of the Shri Darbár, i.e. the Council of the Apostles of his religion. The work is not merely a biography of a leading mau in Bengal, but is a history of the times in which he flourished, and of the intellectual and moral condition of the people. The first part only of the work has come out, and it is premature now to pronounce any opivion on the book, though the promise given in the first part may lead one to expect superior results. Laborious Days, by Mr. Skrine, is an appreciative account of the public career of Sir Charles Elliott, the Lieutenant-Governor of Bengal. The title of the work has been very Irell chosen, for few officers in India worked so hard as Sir Charles. His energies and big aptitude for work are almost unbounded. Therever he bas gone, and in whatever capacity, he has left the impress of his character in every place. It is generally the lot of such persons to be the victim of much misrepresentation, and Sir Charles is no exception to the rule. No man in India is more cruelly misrepresented. But he is exceptionally fortunate in having ·PÚBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. 45 a biographer of Dir. Shrine's rare ability as a writer to correct the toisrepresentations and to show him in his proper light. Drama.—The dramatic literature of the year is not of much importance. There are, of course, the usual namber of mythological dramas and játrás or melodramas acted without stage arrangements and accompanied with music and dancing. The monotony of the mythological narration is sometimes relieved by interludes, the subject of which is taken, as a rule, from life. These joterludes are of the nature of farces or short comedies. Babu Matilál Ráy is the best writer of these pátrás, and as be is a professional dramatist, actor, and a manager of gálrd company, he has an advantage over other writers of the kind. Harishe Bishád and Sarajú. prayand ale dramas of some merit, based on mythology. Lálá Golat Chánd is a very interesting story of a wicked man sending bis brother to transportation and his father to imminent death in a foreign country simply to get the whole inberitance bimself. The book is full of stirring incidents and exciting scenes. 'I be author bas utilized some of the incidents of Dumas' "Monte Chirsto," and he has tanght the noble maxim that truth is altyays victorious, and that the wicked cannot escape their just punishment. Of the dramas taken from life, two only deserve mention. One is Ríjá Báhddur, a drama designed to expose the title-bunting mania of some of the mufassal zamindars who ruia therr hfe, their property, and their all for the satisfaction of getting an empty title, Itke Rájá Báhádar. Io the present work a petty zamisdar from Eastern Bengal comes to Calcutta and falls into the hands of a wicked man, who, with the help of a few Euiopean loafers, attempts to dupe him. He is made to spend much money in low company and in low pleasures, till he is rescued from all that was in store for im by his wife. The other work is Goráy Galad, by Babu Ravíudra Nath Tagore The oddities and eccentricities of educated Bengalis is the theme of the work. The hero Ni már loved a girl, but did not know her by her proper name, and the girl loved Nimál, but did not know him by his proper name. They are anxious to marry each otber, and their fathers are xulso anxious to get them married. But there was a difficulty at the outset The boy gives the giil's name, and nobody knows who she is, and the girl gives the boy's name, and nobody knows who he is. This produces infimte amusement, and the anthor, with a cleverness and dexterity which is bis own, takes advantage of every opportunity of entertaining his audience. Chitrangadá by the same author, though based on the Maláblárata, 19 a work of a fuperior nature. It is a love story of great merit. The characters are only two, besides two gods, those of Love and Spring, who occasionally appear on the stage It teaches that once, and only ouce in life, love influences the human mind and makes it anxious for beauty, which it gets and enjoys. The price of the work is Ai per copy, 24 it is accompanied with neat illastrations by Babu Avanindra Náth Tagore, a nephey of the authyr. Fictron --The selfishness of one member ruining a joint-family appears to be a favourite theme with Bengali povelists. During the year un ter leviez thrte works were received on the subject, namely-- Unmádini, Nútan Bau, and Naba-Simants ni None of th m, however, is 9 work of any merit. Suehalata and Adrushta are the productions of two distinguished Bengali novelists, thnugh these works will not add much to their reputation. Svarnakumári Devi's Snehalută will be liked by female readers who love to dwell upon and arpreciate minate details of household affairs. The descriptioa uf the house-wfe's bed-room is the best chapter in the work, and none but a female could have written it. Alrishta, by the late Babu Tárak Náth Gánguli, 18 full of those realistic descriptions, which were his forte. This work is not at all ambitious It describes the hopes and aspirations, the struggles and miseries, the fnys and SOITOWS of a poor compounder. His brother 13 a rich pleader, but be brother's wife does not like to afforu a shelter to a poor relative in her house. He marries the daughter of a pour man, who marries his otlier daughter to a pleader. The poor compounder is at a discouzt at hus father 10-131's buse He is keenly sepsible of the inferiority of big position, but is always composed and quiet, and never loses his self-respect. He is a character with whom no one cao lielp sympathising, and the late Baba Tárak Náth Gánguli is perhaps the first person who has successfully painted low life in Bengali. Juralá, by Baba Deríprasında Rápa Chaudhari, is in fact not a work of fiction, but a history.-the bistory of the mieenies of & linda widow; the liistory of the regeneration of a fallen woman; the history of the antagonism of the Hindus and the Brahmos and of the diferent sections of the Braboo community; and the ·46 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. · history of the sacrifices which the author had to make for the sake of a dear relative in her fallen condition ; the history of a recent murder perpetrated by a disappointed and infatuated lover- a murder out of which an attempt was made during the Consent Bill Agitation to make some political capital against the Hindus. Suhamaran, by Babu Satya Charan Mitra, is . a work of a very different nature. In this the young author attempts to give the picture of a toman absorbed in the contemplation of the deity. The miseries of the world, the neglect of the husband, the threats of the seducer, the allurements of tricked men, are of no moment to her. She knows only two beings-her father whom she is bound to tend, and her Kálí whose presence she always feels about her. Some of the scenes are very powerfully described. The scene in wbich Anupam, who came to seduce her, felt the immense gulf that separates him from her, atd was persuaded to espiate bis sins by severe penances, exerts a powerful and ennobling influence on the mind. Babu Devendra Kishor Acliáryya Chaudhuri bas already served bis apprenticeship as a Bengali novelist in his Ahalyá. His Gáyatrí is a much superior work, and it describes the miseries of high liſe, the helplessness of the rich at the hands of their wicked amla, and the influence English education and English society exert for the good of this class of men. Babu Nakuleshvar Bhattácbáryya’s Sannyás is written in the purest form of Bengali, and its narrative is exceedingly engaging. It carries the reader from the miserable study of a Bengali graduate through the side espanse of Hindustan to the Himalayas over its highest peaks and losyist valleys, through cares and underground rivers, through the scenes and surroundings of unrivalled graudeur, to a union with that tender and devoted soul his wife, thom in the pride of knowledge he considered to be unworthy of liim, but who followed him through all his wanderings as a guardian angel and saved his life on many a perilous crisis. Ramal Kumárí, by Babu Bhuban Chandra Mukharji, though miserable in style and in the manner of dealing with the sabject, bears evidence of the wild innagination of the author. The scenes are laid at a time when Málmud of Ghazni was leading bis plundering expeditions into India. The author describes in the wilds of Central India a fort governed and defended by women and a country entirely inbabited by them. They form a peaceful kingdom, while the whole of India was in convulsions owing to internal and external warfare. The services rendered by these peaceful women have been described with some poirer. The T'insha-salavili (Vol. II), by Chiranjin Sharmá, brings the novel on a forecast of the trentieth century to a cluse. He thinks that a great man till arise by the end of the twentieth century, who by the pe.fection of bis character, by the catholicity of lis teaching, by the simplicity of and by the profundity of his kuowledge and faith, will ucite Bráhmos, Hindus, Christians, and Musalmans together. For the first time in the bistory of Assamese literature has appeared a novel in that language. Nothing is more appreciated in Assam than history, and their first novel therefore is an historical one. Láhari, by Babu Padma Náth Barua, describes the influence which Gohāins exercise for good and for evil over the Assamese society. The plot of the work is interesting and has been developed with great care. Palligrám, by Babu Satísh Chandra Basu, has been written with the express object of proclaiming the glory of Hindu religion, and all the articles of faith of the Hinduism of the day find their expression in the work. The buok opens with a prophecy by an astrologer, the fulfilment of which is subsequently detailed in it. There are the usual incidents of au unchaste wife visited with diviue punishment, the agency of a sannyási in protecting a belpless cbaste girl, a description of the various places of pilgrimage, and the conversion of an educated young man of free-thinking tendencies into a devout Hindu. bis manners, History - The best historical work received during the year is “ History of the Punjab,” by Sayed Muhammed Latiff, a Fellow of the Punjab University. Though the book has been printed in Calcutta, the credit of writing the work really belongs to the Punjab, which having a history of its own, until very recently, has developed an historical literature during the last thirty years with wbich the historical literature of Bengal cannot stand in comparisou. Sayed Mubammad Latiff begins with the Rig Veda, gives a bistory of the Aryan occupation of the Punjab, the story of the invasions of Osires, Semiramis, Sesostris, and others during the pre-historic period. During the historic time the country was invaded successively by the Persians, the Greeks, the Greeco-Bactrians, the Indo- Scythians, the Hous, the Turks, the Pathans, the Moghu's, the Kłorasanese under ·UDLIVALIS ISSUED AND LUISALID INTOYA. 47 Nadir Sbál, the Abdalls, and the Barakzais No country in the world bas been so un fortupate as , che Punjab. In a secne of continuous bloodshed and violence, the country has never enjoyed peace for any length of time, and the writer pioves, to a demonstration, that the English are the only people who have succeeded 10 establisbing peace in the country, and are in a position to maintain it with a strong hand. The people therefore ought to be thankful to the English and remain devotedly Inyal to them. This is the lesson which pervades the whole work, which is replete with intere-tiug information for every period of history. The rise, progress, and fall of the Sikhs bave been descubed at very great length. The condition of the Punjab during the whole of the eighteenth century, when the Sikhs and the Afgbans were fighting for suprem tcy, is indeed deplorable. There is scarcely any incident to relieve the borrid monotody of cruelty, oppresston, sacrilege, rapine, treachery and violence of the contending parties, whose feelings were embittered, not only by social and political jealousies, but also by religious aad iace hatred. Ranjit Singh did to a certain extent afford some relief to the people by establishing a strong mulitary poner, but it is the English who have really given peace and prosperity to the Land of the five rivers.' The other historical work of aby importance is in Bengal, by Babu Rajanı Kánta Gupta. It is the thuid volume of his well known work "Sipihijudithér Itihas." The writer is indebted for the materials of his work entirely to English writers on the Sepoy war, but he defends Nanā Sahil, not on public, but on personal grounds. He throws the entire blame on his Nulitmadan advi-er, Azım-ud-dawlah, and his relatives, Bābā Bhat and others. The Nânā, he says, was neitlies cruel nor disposed to take up aims against the English. Manipur-prahelikā, by Babu Janak' Náth Básak, who was appointted to defoud Tikendrajit, raised gieat expectation in certain quarters, but the work gives no new information por does it throw any bew light upon what is already known. The author gives, of course, an account of his own early career, which adds nothing to the value of the work He has given a sensational title to the book, namely, the “Ruudle of Manipur," but proposes 10 solution of the viddle, except that the trade in tea-seed was the apple of discord among the Royal brothers, and that the rivals couited the favour of the Resident-an event which led to the catastiophe. The history of the Hindus of Bengal, during the long period of Muhammadan domination and earlier, is so meagre that the slightest authentic iuformation which may throw any light on tbat history is always welcome, and as genealogies do often throw much light, it 18 a matter of congratulation that Kabırāj Binod Lal Sen has published a genealogical work on the Vardya caste, written by one of the greatest Vaidyas that flourished during the eighteenth century namely the celebrated Bbaiat Mallick, so well-known for his numerous commentaries on various standard works of Sanscrit literature. The work 19 named Ratna-prabha, and it gnes back three hundred years and more before the author's time Chandra.prabhū, by the came author, on the same subject, is likely to prove more interesting when published, Language. The works under this bead are mostly school-books and their keys. The school-books are not generally written by educated men; they are the production mostly of adventurers who find no other walk of life paying. The consequence bas been that the scbool literature has been fooded with worthless and, in many instances, mischievous books. The Central Text-Book Committee is doing its best to reject bad books, but it cannot put a stop to their circulation, por con it encourage really good men to write school-books. The profit of school-books depends upon canvassing, and canvassing the mabagers of schools whose number is very large, and no good man will stoop to canvassing of this sort to get his book into circulation. The keys ale a source of unalloyed mischief. They destroy the spirit of self-help in the students and male them disrespectful to their teachers ; some of the keys again bave been found to contain vituperations against authois, against educational authorities, and even against Government. The third edition of Sir Raja Rádhá Kánta Deva's Shabdakalpadruma je rapidly pearing its close. The work will be completed in four volumes, and the editora have already commenced an Appendix, which is likely to incorporate much interesting and instructive information. The aim of the editors seems to be to make the work as thorough and as complete as possible. Enthusiastic research bas during the last fifty years brought whole branches of Sanscrit literature into light, and these should have a dictionary, and the editors are doing tbeir best to supply the want by putting in additional matter in the body of the work by revision, as well as in the Appendis. The only other work of importance tbat ·48 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1802. has appeared during the year is a volume of Siildhánta-kaumudí by Bhattojiedikshit with a Bengali translation by Kabiráj Binod Lāl Sen. A prose translation of the sayings of the celebrated Persian poet, Hafez, bas been received during the year. Law.- The legal branch of the publications of Bengal for the year under revicir, bas nothing new or interesting to shoir. There are some new editions of standard lasy books, some small treatises written to help the candidates of different law examinations. The Aladana pārijāta, a treatise on Hindu law written during the fourteenth century, has been all but completed under the distinguished editorship of Pandit Madlusúdan Smritiratna, Professor of Hindu Law, Sanscrit College, Calcutta. The Medicine.-There is the usual number of medical publications this year also. allopaths, homeopatlıs, and Ayurvedis all vie nith each other in their attempt to obtain the support of the public in favour of the system of medicine they profess. The homeopath has on the whole, the largest amount of publishing activity. The Ayurvedis have, howerer, (leveloped a new method of propagandism, namely they are translating works on Hindu medicine in English and writing Ayurvedic works in that language. Kabiráj Avinash Chandra Kaviratva is translating the Charaka Sambitá, and Kaviraj Rasiklal Gupta bas published the complete translation of the Nidánă by Bládlavakara and has written a large work on the Practice of Medicine of the Hindus. Thero are ferr Kabirājas in Bengal, however, who know the English language and the European system of medicinc sufficiently well to be able to perform the work of translating Sanscrit medical works properly. Since the death of the late lamented Dr. Udaya Chánd Datta, no one has been found cqual to the task of translating the Susbruta Samhítā, commenced by that learned gentleman. The Kabiraj does not know English, and the Assistaut Surgeon or M.D. does not know Subscrit, and between the tiro they often make a mess of the whole thing. Miscellaneous.-On taking up this bead, the attention of the reader is arrested by trro masterly works on two subjects of the most vital importance to Ilindu society by two of the most distinguished men whom English education las produced in Bengal. Both bare retired after a distinguished career in the public service, full of years and honours, and in their retire. ment have continued their literary pursuits. Krishnacharitra, by Babu Bankim Chandra Chatterji, is written in that attractive and brilliant style wbich bas made his works so popular, and Babu Bhudev Mukbarji's Sámájik Prabandha, though dull and weary reading, is written in a style in which language seems to be labouring under the burden of thought. Krishna is worshipped as an incarnation of the Supreme Being all over India; but his character, as represented by modern worshiprers, does not appear to come up to the standard of the ideal of an incarnation. This led Bab Bankim Chandra to investigate the subject, and he read a large number of books concerning it. Mahābhārata appeared to bim to be the greatest and most authentic work for the glorification of Krishna, but the Mahabharata, as we at present have it, is a huge mass of literature, composed at different times and by different hands; with patient research, therefore, Babu Bankim Chandra bas attempted to distinguish the original from the interpolated parts of the work, and he has been eminently successful. That the Mahābhārata is a very ancient work is indicated by the fact that it is mentioned in the áshvalāyana Grinya sútra. Babu Bankim Chandra has shown that this original work consisted of 24,000 slokas, and he has with great scholarsbip attempted to find out these 24,000 verses in the modern Alalábhárata, and Krislına appears from these to he the bigbest ideal of all that is good in man. Later additions to the Mahābhārata have misrepresented the character of Krishna, although the memory of that character still survives in popular worship. After clearing the character of Krishna from the thick cloud of misconception which has surrounded it for centuries, the author proceeds to explain the conception of Rādhā. This also he has done with ability and judgment. The service be has done to young Bengal by writing this book is great. It will enable them to appreciate ancient Iudia much better than if they bad to depend for that interpretation either on the Pandits of India, or on western Sanscrit scholars. In the Sāmājik Prabandha, Babu Bhúdev Mukharji attempts to defend the social system of India, and to prove that the Western theories of social and political organization are either fallacious, or that they do not apply to India. He considers the theory of the equality of man to be unnatural; he believes that society is never destroyed. He does not believe that the kivg should represent the supreme legislative, judicial, and executive power in the State.

·FÚBLICATIONS ISSUED AND RFOIST FRED IN 1892. He does not believe in the progressive theory of the world. He believes that to be a progres- BIVe society, which has succeeded in creating the loftiest ideal, and so following that ideal with earnestness and devotion. Hindu society, he believes, obtained its loftiest ideal in its theory of Naiskárna (duty for its own sake), that theory gives to society a motive for unceasing good work, but at the same time prevents it from the tarnt of selfishness and consequent degeneration. The people of India, he says, are by nature peaceful, and their religious and social theories, based on Marskarma, have made them still more peaceful, and it is preposterous to think that such a society should disappear altogether, or be absoi bed in another, simply because hardier pations bave, by sheer dint of pby-ıcal power, obtained mastery over it. This is the sum and substance of what be saj 8, and this be has sorled out witb great erudition and thoughtfulness. He has carefully boted how the snpremacy of the English in India has influ. enced Hindu society, and what future results that influence will lead to. With enthusiastic earnestness he has pointed out to his conntrymen the good results which might come from contact with Europeans, and also wained them against evils which are likely to result from it. He has asked them to follow their Srăstras with a spuit of devotion, and not to imbibe the selfishness, the worldhoess, and the utilitarianism of modern Europe. Excesy of Anglicism at this stage, be says, would be suicidal, the author has, in many instances, used very strong language against shallow and superficial theories, promulgated by Englishmen for the so called regeneration of India. In one sense his book serves the same purpose of interpreting ancient India to modern Bengalis, as Babu Bankim Chandra's. but in a much wider extent and more thorough manner, and his advice has a practical bearing. Játi-brbek, by Babu Kailas Chandra Háldár, is a treatise on the caste system and the customs of the Hindus It is one of a number of roihs on the caste system in which attempt is made to explain the origin of the various castes from the origine four, sprung from the different parts of Bramha's body, and this is done by quotations from the Emritt Samhitás and the Puranas, ou relics of Kamrup is an interesting little brochure on the antiquities of Kamrup, by Baba Jogesh Chandra Dutt, the eldest biother of Mi, R. C Dutt, cs. The Dutt family of Rámbágán of Calcatta is noted for the last one hundred und fifty je irs for their excellence in English composition and literary habits. The founder of the faculy was the English clerk of Rája Nava Krishna of Shobhábázát, who held so many important ofices under Loid Clive and Warren Hastings. Babu Jogesh Chandra publishes a number of Assamese inscriptions from Kämrúp, which thow much light on the bistory of Assam during the abom dynasty The oldest of the inscriptroos is, howere, dated SŁ. 1487, 1 e. 2555 A.D. These roscriptroos ranse a pumber of historical and social association, connected witi Assam. The souk is small, but it speaks well of the taste and culture of the wrter. Amra (mango) is a monograph on the subject of mango cultivation, mango-curing, and the uses of the mango by Rajá Kamal Krishna Sinha of Sushang in Mymensingh It gives much useful information about preparing mango-grafts, manuing mango-gardens, the medicinal properties of the mango, and the preparation of virious chutney from it. The Speeches of Raja Rajendra Lola Jitra, CIE, edited by Raj : ogeshvar Mitra, giver in chronological order twenty-nine impor tant speeches delivered by the late lamented Rājā from the year 1884. Many of the speeches now possess a sort of historical value, and to the editor belongs the credit of bringing these together in a bandy and presentable shape. Aryan Trails, Part 1, by Babu Kailās Chandra Mukharji, M B., of Chinsura, is a very unique work. The author attempts to defend everything that is Hinda—its rites, ceremonies, and superstitions The language is amusing, and the manner of dealıng with the subject matter still more so. The work shows a superficial acquaintance with books-Sabsort and Eoglısb, scientific and literary The t'ishva Rosha 19 steadily advanciug in its useful career.

The first Christian missionary in Bengal was an inhabitant of Sweden, named John Zakariah Kiernander, who established the Christian Koon leuge Society at Cuddaloie, in Jadras, in 1740, and who was invited by Lord Clive to join bin in Bengal in the year 1958. Kiernander's attempt, lowever, was not a success. It was not until the Baptist Missionaries Carey, Ward, and Marsbinan establi-hed their Mission at Seraanpore that a real beginning was made of the foundation of a Native Christian congregation in Bengal. Rám Rám Baru, though not converted, was the first Bengali writer on Christiinity. lle wrote the first Christian song Xeur társte par Indvar jisas kraist biné go." He wrote the first Bengali account of Christ, entitled Kkrist wicaranánrilam, in vartety of metres. Ilis book was translated into various languages, and it passed tbrough several editions in a short time. The first convert in Bengal was a Carpenter, named Krishna l'ál, who was at first a Kuodu, then a Kartálhajd, and then a Chris. trian. He baul tu suffer much persecution for the change of religion. The book runs through 2 40 pages, replete with information valvable for the Bengali Christian community. The Roman Catholics rarely write anything in Bengal. One of them, however, Mr. Frederic Fanthome, has a sitten to loog works in defence of liis religion, $i; Defence, nel Defiance, and Pendicalton of the Catholic Church. He classes his opponents as "Atheists and non-Catholics." He defends all the various rites and ceremonies of the Roman Church, Alahammarlanism. The only important work on this subject is the translation of the Madis in Bengal, by Babu Grish Chandra Sen, the first tradslator of the Korán 1 Bungal fladis is the highet authority on sluhammadan law and customs after the Korán. It is based on the sayings of the direct and immediate followers of Muhammad.

It is a very large work, and is dusided into five parta, entitled Krishnalílá, Rúmáyan, Jaháblárata, Jagannátkalílá and Charlangalilá Mukbarji and Company, of Banlurs, deserve the thanks of the community for bringing out such an importaut work in parts. From the thirteen parts tbat bave already appeared, Radba Vádbay, the author, appears to have been a man of vast reading and cultivated tastes. Eoch bis language and versification are cbaste and charming. The editings of the Deri Blágbat and of the Brahmánda Purana are in pogress. A very large anmber of parts of the Ads Puréxa as received during the year. J'audit Vishvest- ·52 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. Onc var Bháynbatshiromani has written a small volume in Sanscrit containing two treatises. is the account of a great sintier, named Gunanidhi, who never slirank from any crimc, obtaining salvation by the more accident of his dying at a Shina temple on the night sacred to the god Shiva. The other relates to Sadúchíra, tho sanitary, hygienic, and rigious regnilations of the Ilindus. The volume is entitled Gunanidhi-Sadáchúra. The work is in prose, and the style of writing is simple and elegant. The treatise on Sadúchura is well worth perusal. Babu Bálarum Mallik's account of bis pilgrimnge to Puri, in English, is an interesting little book on Jagannáth worship. The writer gives a long liistory of the building of the temple, the relation of the temple authoritios with successive Governments, and the mole of conducting worship, which is uniformly done on a vast :cale. The following lines from the tvork may lie interesting :-“ The Ilindu faith is a living faith; its fountain-lıud is clear and cool, and its on-Now is perennial. No power on eniti can reduce its vastness or extinguish its fin me, and all the reformation that is preached against it is mere dwarfi-h business which touches not, its adamantine basis." Paishnavism.-Chaiinnyn's second associnte, Advaitn, ons profoundly versed in the different schools of Hindu philosophy and religion. In his early : cais he taught, with the learned men of his time, 'frun knowledge' to be the only and the sole means of salvation. His opinion changed with the increase of years, and be bryan to tench the importance of Chakli, or devotion. lle hind a very large number of pupils, many of them bailing from Sylhet, Assom, and other distant countries. But when he joined Chaitanya and give up his first belief, some of his advanced pupils left liim as a masiman, and the followers of there advanced pupils are to be found in Assam, Sylhet, and other distant places. Two of these pupils were Shankara Dev and Mádbava Dev, the founders of the Vahaprusiya xect of Vaishnavas in Assam. To them the Shrimad Bhagavat is the standard work of Vaislarim: They do not confine their worship to the youthful life of Krishna nt Vrindávan, and his amours with the milk-maids of the place. A kirlan means in Bengal a inusical performance attended with song describing the love of Rúdlá for Krishna from its very inception to Krishna's dieparture for Mathurá. It leaves out all the intermediate incivient- of Krishnu's lie, li migration to Dráruká, bis connection in the Kurukshetrn war, ete, and then comes to the great sacrifice performed by the Jadu ruce, in which Krislıun was born, at Prabhas, in Katiawar. The last scene of the act of the Kirtan is at Prabhas, where the milk-maids are invitna to the sacrifice, and are at last re-united with him. The Kilan of the Assamese has a much larger scope; with them it means any song in honour of Vishnu and of his mumervus incara patious. The Kírtun Ghoshū of Shankar Der and llāzāri Ghoshū of Madhara Devare kiírtans of this nature. They describe other crents of Krishna's life and speak of other incarnations also. The lenguage of these Kirtans do not differ much from that of the Bengal Kutans. The language of the Bengali Kírtaus then showe. a distinct leaning towards Maithili, because the influence of Vidyapati was very great in Bengal in tho-e days, while the As-amese lad a leaning towards anscrit and Bengali. There is another reason why the Vaishnaras of Assam had a character distinet from those of Bengal. Vaishnavism in A-sam was patronised by royalty and the nobility, and it became to a great extent a national religion imbued with the national spirit, while in Bengal it remained the religion of the lower orders; wealth, influence, learning, and power always standing aloof from it. After the retirement of Chaitanya, Advaita seems to have again lapsed into a Darshanit (philosopher) ; in any case he held a desponding view of the prospect of Vaishnavism in Bengal. When Chaitanya came to know this, be became grieved, aud his sinxiety for the perpetuation of his creed increased. He is said miraculously to have selected a Bıálıman youth, a lad of about 12, the son of one of his devoted followers, whom he had never seen; as the likely to continue the school, and this young man was Shrinivas Acharyja. namely Premabilās and Karnananda, have been received during the course of the yeir, botín written about 300 years ago, now published for the first time, bearing on the life and teachings of Shrínivás. They give a clear idea of Ilindu society in those days. Shrívivás and his associate Narotiama converted many Hindu and Musalman ducoits to Vaishnavisin, and induced them to lea'l a peaceful and virtuous life. Many Bráhmans are mentioned as leading a pluuderer's life, and the feeble Vusalman Sultan at Gour found it difficult to cope person Two books, ·PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1992, 53 with them. Among the Juliammadan converts to Vaislinavism are mentioned Sher Khan Kutuluddin. Tur love of Riká ual Krishas seems to have been the great object of meditation to tlicsé Vaishnava leaders, Eucli considered himself to be a Sikhi, or female friend of Rádba Constant meditation on the same thing caused them to fall into trances on vacancies of excitement. The trequency and duration of the e trances were an inder of their success in devotional practices. On one occasion Shríairás lay senseless and motionless for three days When he came to his senses, he said that he was in the company of Rádhá and Krishna, who were engaged 10 sport in the Jumaa; that Rádhá lost one of her earrings, and he was ordered to search for it, and it was with the greategt difficulty that he found it as it lay uodu kuter on tho sand, and covered over with a lotus leaf. Of the two boohs, Premabılar is by Nityánanda Dás, a disciple of Jahnavá Thákurání, the widow of Nity ápandi the great associate of Chaitanya. Nityananda Dás was a Vaidya by caste and #o obalitant of Sri Kbanda, so celebrated in Vaishnavn literature as the place in which some of the most devoted followers of Chaitanya and some of the best writers on Vaishnavism Bouriahed. The second Karnananda work is by Jadun plan Dáv, a Vaidya by caste, and an jahabitant of Málibátí on the right bank of the Ganger. 1118 object in writing this book was to give an accrunt of the disciples of Shinirat Acharyyn Battle Acliát gya's daughter, 10 hom the work was read out, liked it #o immensely that she gave it the name of Karndrande, ie the Delight of the Ear The language of the work is pure easy Bengalı. There is no leaning to Maithilisuma or to Sinscrit. Both the buckt were written for the masses, and so there is not a single word which a Bengali cannot understand, or the molern works on Chsitanyaism, Charlanya Lolamnila in prose, by the late lamented Baba Jagadishvar Gupta, deserves special mention. The work r in two volumes; ther show that the author had greit respect for Va'shnava worbrand extensive acquaintance with ther, and big connection with the Vai-haiva fumilies of Khanda and otber places gave bim opportunities of examining Vuishpara traditions which are a sealed book to others, and luis bolarm that he made the best wee of his opportants, le guies an account of every esent iu Chutanga's life, and all available information alout thoxe who gurmunded lum or were known as his Parilare. The untimely dath of the author, shortly after the completion of his worh, is a great loss to Bengali literature. With an amount of patience and erudition mobiel are truly remarhable, le rlerrell say the clouds of mystery and misrepresentation tloutout rounded Chaionis agd his rect. Science, Matherbetical ; Srience, Natural and other. The works under these beats are all school-books, and they do not deserve any special notice. Trarele anil royages.---Tae only work under this head receivel during the year woder review is a description of the trave's of Shiva Nārāyan Svami. It is an account of the traveis of a Sannidni, and is 110t thely to interest general readers. Periodicals.--A vers larg. number of periodical publications have been received during the year. The organs of many religinue denominations, whiih aje not newspapers, used never to be sent to the Julsan, and so many relig1011s periodicals existed for years withoat the Beogal Library knowing anything about them. The Telltabalhini Patrikā, for instance, which las entered the Gfte'h year of its existence, was recented only in the second quarter of the year 1892, though it is one of the most respectable and ably-conducted periodicals of Bengal. It was started by an usunciation of literary men al out half a century ago, known as the lattvabodhsıní Sablá, formed in imtution of the Council of the Asıtıc Society of those day. Pandit Ishvarchandia Vidia-ágaia d Baba Alalaya Kumára Ditta made it fumous by their contriljutions, and Vabu Devendra A áth Tagore's lifelong connection with the paper has given it a stability and a reputation nut enjoyed by other periodicals. At the present day it is geoeually regarded ag an organ of the Adt-Brábmo-Sāmaj, The Last Bengal Navabidhjāa Samaj liad its organ in a big lot piper entitled Bangabandhu, or " The New Light " The Sebak of Ducca and data and Dharmabandhu tf Caliutta indicate the religious activity of the Brahmos of the Sádlıáljo Samáj. The Vative Christian community lias the Tranorlays for its jouinal; Amādar l'alala and the Sunday School Journal are the organs of livo Christian Associations The ·- 54 PUBLICATIONS ISSUED AND REGISTERED IN 1892. former, of the Association for Scripture reading, founded by the late Mr. Robert Williamov, and the latter of the Bengal Branch of the International Sunday School Association of Europe and America. The Ranaral, or War Cry, is the organ of the Salvation Army in Bengal. The Khristiya Bandhab is an organ of the Baptist Missionaries in Bengal. The modern followers of Chaitanya have two papers,--the Sajjunilorhina, is the organ of the Bengali Vuislinasas of Calcutta, and the Chailaryamałaboithiné «[ those of Vrindában. Though the number these various periodicals is very large, they are of very little general interest. They interest only the sects which they represent. The medical journals are also becoming more and more nuinerous every day. The Ilomeropaths seem, Lowerci', to slow much greater activity than tlo professors of any other system of medicine. Some of the periodicals classed under the head "Miscellancous” in the catalogue are inportant publicntions. Of these, the Bharati and the Nobyabharat maintain their old positon. They represent the thoughts and aspirations of the Bengalis who have received an English education and finglish culture. The Janmabhumi represents liodu culture, Some of the best pandits write in it, and the subjects are so clo-en als to be appreciated by the general mass of 'Bhadralok' in l'engal. During its short existence it buits fecured a very large circulation. Its tendency is cxtreinely conservative, and it often runs counter to the views of the clucated classes. The Sīhitya is slowly making its influncc felt, and some of its literary and philosophical articles have alreally attracted much public attention. Sidhana is yet young, but some of its articles are very svell written. There is besides thesc, a number of periodicals of oplomeral growth which spring up and die a natural death at seasons. The Ilona Magacine was brought out with a flourish of trumpets, but only three issuies have been received in thic library. Il exists no longer. It is needless to speak of the old English journals of Calcutta, such as the Culcutta lcrice and the Asiatic Society's journals, Part. I and 11. They maintain the high reputation which is their just due. If the Society's journal came out punctually, it woud leave nothing more to be desired. It has been proposed to add : third part to tlic journal treating of Anthropology, Ethnology, and folklore. The National Jagazine is a scalable English journal unler native editorship. The Vedic journal Usha is steadily doing good work in publishing and interpreting rare ancient and important treatises Learing on the reading, chaunting, and understanding of Vedic hymos on Vedic traditions and on Vedic culture. There are three lindi periodicalstlic Brahman, the Drijapafriki, and the Khatriya, Patrika, cach with a circulntion of about 200 copies. They seem to have wonderful vitality', though there is nothing worth policing either in their matter or in the manner of treating their subjects. A good Hindi periodical is a real desideratum in Bebar. The Uriya paper Asha seems to have ceased to exist. The Jonaki and the Bijuli are two Assamese periodicals, which ofteo contain interesting articles on the history, antiquities, and social development of Assam.
