HISTORY OF NEPAL, 



translated by MuNSHi Shew Shunker Singh and Pandit ShrT 

 GUNANAND ; edited with an Introductory Sketch of the Country and 

 People by Dr D. Wright, late Residency Surgeon at Kathmandu, 

 and with facsimiles of native drawings, and portraits of Sir Jung 

 Bahadur, the King of Nepal, &c. Super-royal 8vo. Price lis. 



"The Cambridge University Press have 

 done well in publishing this work. Such 

 translations are valuable not only to the his- 

 torian but also to the ethnologist; Dr 



Wright's Introduction is based on personal 

 inquiry and observation, is written intelli- 

 gently and candidly, and adds much to the 

 value of the volume. The coloured litho- 

 graphic plates are interesting." — Nature. 



"The history has appeared at a very op- 

 portune moment... The volume... is beautifully 

 printed, and supplied with portraits of Sir 

 Jung Bahadoor and others, and with e.xcel- 

 lent coloured sketches illustratin.g Nepaulese 

 architecture and religion." — Examiner 



" In pleasing contrast with the native his- 

 tory are the five introductory chapters con- 

 tributed by Dr Wright himself, who saw as 

 much of Nepal during his ten years' sojourn 

 as the strict rules enforced against foreigners 

 even by Jung Bahadur would let him see." — 

 hidian Mail.

"This native history is a most interesting 

 contribution to our knowledge of Nepaul ; 

 and the accuracy of the tran.slation is certified 

 by the fact of its having been made by the 

 Meer l\Ioonshee attached to the British Re- 

 sidency at Khatmandoo, who has lived in 

 Nepaul for nearly 30 years, assisted by the 

 Pundit Shree Gunanund, who is a native of 

 Nepaul, and whose ancestors have for many 

 .generations been the compilers of this his- 

 tory." — Tillies.

SCHOLAE ACADEMICAE:

education, and we may add, upon the cat- 

 like tenacity of life of ancient forms.... The 

 particulars Mr Wordsworth gives us in his 



"The general object of Mr Wordsworth's 

 book is sufficiently apparent from its title. 

 He has collected a great quantity of minute 

 and curious information about the working 

 of Cambridge institutions in the last century, 

 with an occasional comparison of the corre- 

 sponding state of things at Oxford. It is of 

 course impossible that a book of this kind 

 should be altogether entertaining as litera- 

 ture. To a great extent it is purely a book 

 of reference, and as such it will be of per- 

 manent value for the historical knowledge of 

 English education and learning. " — Saturday 

 Review. 



"This work follows the modern historical 

 method ; it is not an argumentative romance 

 with a few facts let in where they support 

 a favourite view, but a caieful exhumation of 

 dead records ; which are made to bring 

 before us a live past, by being placed in due 

 connection by a man who understands them 



and loves his subject In the work before 



us, which is strictly what it professes to be, 

 an account of university studies, we obtain 

 authentic information upon the course and 

 changes of philosophical thought in this 

 country, upon the general estimation of 

 letters, upon the relations of doctrine and 

 science, upon the range and thoroughness of 



excellent arrangement are most varied, in- 

 teresting, and instructive. Among the mat- 

 ters touched upon are Libraries, Lectures, 

 the Tripos, the Trivium, the Senate House, 

 the S.chobls, text-books, subjects of study, 

 ■foreign opinions, interior life. We learn 

 even of the various University Jieriodicals 

 that have had their day. And last, but not 

 leait, we are given in an appendi.x a highly 

 interesting series of private letters from a 

 Cambridge student to John Strype, giving 

 a vivid idea of life as an undergraduate and 

 afterwards, as the writer became a graduate 

 and a fellow." — University Magazine. 



"Only those who have engaged in like la- 

 bours will be able fully to appreciate the 

 sustained industry and conscientious accuracy 

 discernible in every page. . . . Of the whole 

 volume it may be said that it is a genuine 

 .service rendered to the study of University 

 history, and that the habits of thought of any 

 writer educated at either seat of learning in 

 the ia-it century will, in many cases, be far 

 better understood after a consideration of the 

 materials here collected." — Acaaemy.
