To the Secretary of the Asiatic Society of Bengal. 

 Sir, — I have received the valuable consignment of Sanscrit books which 

 the Royal Asiatic Society has done me the honour of sending to my address. 



1 beg leave, by your kind mediation, to offer to the Society my best acknow- 

 ledgment of the favour with which they have been pleased to notice my 

 editorial efforts for propagating the Oriental studies in this country. As a 

 slight token of my gratitude I hope the Society will kindly accept the follow- 

 ing books, which I have lately published and which I shall dispatch to India by 

 the first opportunity ; these are 1. — Sanscrit — Mudra Rakshasa, cum glossariu 

 instructum, edidit N. Delius, 12 copies. Bibliotheca Sanscrita, ed. Gildemeis-

 der Alten, 3 Vols. 2 copies. Nceekis, Valerius, 3 copies. 5. — Shraf's Topo- 

 graphy of Jerusalem, 2 copies. 



As the Society is fully aware of the importance of the university of Bonn 

 as a central point of Oriental studies in Germany, and of the constant appli- 

 cations which are made to me as the chief publisher and bookseller for this 

 department, I hope to be excused for the apparent freedom which I take in 

 asking the Society's liberality to send me the following books which are in 

 their possession : viz. Institutes of the Hindu Religion, by Rughu Nundun

To the celebrated Radha Kant I shall, by the same opportunit}', transmit a 

 copy of all my publications which I have sent to the Society, for which 

 consignment you, Sir, will be kind enough to procure one or two copies of 

 the celebrated Sanskrit dictionary published by Radha Kant. The distin- 

 guished author will perhaps be the more inclined to comply with my wishes
