Read the following letter from Dr. Wise : — 



To H. Torrens, Esa., Secretary, Asiatic Society. 

 My dear Sir, — With this note you will receive a copy of my Commentary on 

 the Hindu System of Medicine, which I request you will do me the favor of pre- 

 senting to the Asiatic Society. 



Thos. S. Wise. 

 Dacca, 27th January, 1846. 



Dr. Hseberlin, who stated that he had read the work, and was ac- 

 quainted with the original Shastras from which it was compiled and 

 abridged, and Mr. Piddington who stated that in the absence of Dr. 

 Wise in Europe he had corrected a great deal of it for the press, and 

 had since read the remainder, both spoke in terms of high commenda- 

 tion of this book, as one requiring great labour, long and careful re- 

 search, and talent and perseverance of no common order to produce ; 

 and which for the scientific man, the physcian and the philosopher, and 

 for all who had not access to, or could not read the often rare and valu- 

 able works which Dr. Wise has consulted, would be quite invaluable.
