Mr. B. H, Hodgson's Sketch of Btiddhism. 



but from the larger information latterly collected by me with a view to 

 its completion, I have drawn some notes in correction or enlargement of 



' the paper now transmitted, and have placed them on its margin. 

 " I add to this letter a very considerable list of the Bauddha scriptures in 

 genei"al, extracted for me from those still existing in Nipal. 

 " Of so many of those scriptures as I have procured and sent to Calcutta 



' I have furnished to the Asiatic Society of Bengal a meagre explanatory 

 catalogue. Of the rest I can obtain here only the names ; and, as it would 

 be useless to repeat what has been already said of some of these books, I 

 forward the present list, without further observation on it, than, that its 

 accuracy may be relied on, and that its contents are so far from being 

 local to Nipal, that the largest portion of the books neither are, nor ever 

 were procurable in this valley. 



" The Bauddhas were used, in old time, to insert at the end of any par- 

 ticular work, lists of the names of many of their sacred writings ; and to 

 this usage of theirs am I indebted for the large catalogue which I have 

 obtained."
