" By far the most important mass of original materials contributed to this recondite 

 study."— The Times. 



" Dr Waddell deals with the whole subject in a most exhaustive manner, and gives 

 a clear insight into the structure, prominent features, and cults of the system ; and to 

 disentangle the early history of Lamaism from the chaotic growth of fable which has 

 invested it, most of the chief internal movements of Lamaism are now for the first 

 time presented in an intelligible and systematic form. The work is a valuable 

 addition to the long series that have preceded it, and is enriched by numerous illus- 

 trations, mostly from originals brought from Lhasa, and from photographs by the 

 author, while it is full} - indexed, and is provided with a chronological table and biblio- 

 graphy." — Liverjjool Courier. 



" A book of exceptional interest." — Glasgow Herald. 



"A learned and elaborate work, likely for some time to come to be a source of 

 reference for all who seek information about Lamaism. ... In the appendix will be 

 found a chronological table of Tibetan events, and a bibliography of the best literature 

 bearing on Lamaism. There is also an excellent index, and the numerous illustrations 

 are certainly one of the distinctive features of the book." — Morning Post. 



" Cannot fail to arouse the liveliest interest. The author of this excellently pro- 

 duced, handsomely illustrated volume of nearly six hundred pages has evidently 

 spared no pains in prosecuting his studies. . . . The book is one of exceptional value, 

 and will attract all those readers who take an interest in the old religions of the far 

 East." — Publishers' Circular. 



SLR EDWLN ARNOLD, M.A., Author of " The Light of Asia," &*c. 



The Book of Good Counsels. Fables from the Sanscrit of the 



Hitopadesa. With Illustrations by Gordon Browne. Autograph and 



Portrait. Crown 8vo, antique, gilt top, 5s. 



A few copies of the large paper Edition (limited to 100 copies), 



bound in white vellum, 25s. each net. 



" ' The Book of Good Counsels,' by Sir Edwin Arnold, comes almost as a new book, 

 so long has it been out of print. Now, in addition to being very tastefully and 

 prettily reissued, it contains numerous illustrations by Mr Gordon Browne. As some 

 few may remember, it is a book of Indian stories and poetical maxims from the 

 Sanskrit of the Hitopadesa. The book is almost a volume of fairy tales, and may pass 

 for that with the younger generation, but it is a little too heavily overlaid with philo- 

 sophy to be dismissed wholly as such. In fact, like all that Sir Edwin Arnold has 

 brought before us, it is full of curious fancies, and that it is a charming little book to 

 look at is its least merit." — Daily Graphic.
