560 Proceedings of the Asiatic Society. [No. 7. 



14th. From Dr. E. Boer, submitting an extract from a letter of 

 professor Wilson to Dr. Ballantyne, recommending the publication of 

 the text and an English translation of the Anumana Khanda ; also the 

 subjoined from a letter of Dr. Albert Weber. 



Extract from a letter, from Dr. Weber, dated the 25th July, 1850. 



" I have received the fourteen first Nos. of the Bibliotheca Indica and Dr. 

 Hseberlin's Anthology, for which valuable presents, I return my most 

 sincere thanks to the Asiatic Society. 1 have given a notice of those works 

 in the third number of my Journal, " Vedaic Studies." The Bibliotheca is 

 indeed a splendid undertaking, and we are much indebted for it to the 

 Asiatic Society, and to yourself. Lassen also, in the last number of his 

 Journal, has spoken of it in high terms. 



Messrs. Duemmuller and Co. will in about eight days forward to Messrs. 

 Allen and Co. the 20 copies of the two first volumes of the Yajur to which 

 the Asiatic Society has subscribed. Dr. Marwitz rather wishes to receive the 

 amount of the subscription in money, than its value in books, as the sub- 

 scription has not yet covered the expenses of the edition. Has the Society 

 authorized Allen and Co. to pay the amount of the subscription ? If not, 

 you will much oblige me by requesting the Society to give directions to 

 Allen and Co. to that effect. As this time the copies of two volumes will be 

 despatched at once, the sum will amount to £i0. The third volume is to 

 appear at the end of February, 1851. 



You appear not to have received the first number of my " Vedaic Studies" 

 when you wrote to me (3rd May), and yet I sent it already on the 1th Aug., 

 last year, to Messrs. Allen and Co. 



Stenzler is zealously employed with an edition of the " Grihyasutras by 

 Aswalayana, Parasara and Gabhila," and all these labours are preparatory 

 to a complete history of Indian law which he intends publishing. Hoefer, 

 of whom a Sanscrit Anthology lately appeared, is to edit Vararuchis Pra- 

 krit grammar. Aufrecht and Kuhn publish a journal for the comparison 

 of the Latin, Greek, German and Sanscrit languages. Bergstadt in Upsala 

 has published Sankara's Jnanabodhini, and will soon edit the Brahmasutras 

 with the commentary of Saukara. Spiegel of Erlangen prints here (in Ber- 

 lin) his Pazend Grammar, and his great edition of the Vendidad Sadi with 

 Pehlvi, Sancrit, Persian and German translation will soon be commenced. 

 An excellent commentary on Hiob (Job) has been published here by Schlott- 

 mann. Langlois in Paris has already edited the first four Ashtakas of the 

 Rig in a French superficial translation. A reprint of Wilson's dictionary- 

 will, with his permission, be made by Auber and Co."
