same series an Indian History, a treatise on fhe GeograpTiy of India 

 (in connection with Dr. Stein), an introductory work on literary and 

 epigraphical sources of Indian History, and in connection with Sir R. 

 West, and Prof. Jolly a work on Political Antiquities of India. And 

 if the sudden death of the late Professor seems so extremely sad and 

 deplorable, it is partly because we now cannot expect to get these books 

 from his pen, that touched nothing which it did not adorn. If any one, 

 it was he who by his previous researches as well as by his high literary 

 capacities was entitled to write the History of India. The work 

 will probably have to be entrusted to some other scholar. There seems 

 but little hope that his Manuscript might be so far advanced as 

 to be ready for publication, but the Encyclopaedia, it is hoped, will be 

 continued. 



But even now, though we are to deplore the loss of such a book 

 which would do so much help to everyone who works on this subject, 

 the work done by the late Professor has advanced our knowledge 

 of Indian Literature and History to such a degree, that it is scarcely 

 said too much, if I contend that in many respects Sanskrit in Europe 

 and India, would not stand where it now stands, if it had not been for 

 the labours of the late Professor Biihier.
