Baboo Kajendra always intended to include the Aranyaka in his 

 edition of the Brahmana, which would indeed be incomplete with- 

 out it. Our Society's project for publishing the Black Yajur has 

 been no secret for the last three years, and this announcement

 Bopp referred to in the letter must be Eastwick's, part of which 

 has already appeared.

 master-piece of typography."

 of the Hudhailite Arabs er uJ<i..$Jj uj\j^, to N. v. Tornamo's " Mos- 

 lemische Kecht," and to Amari's " Storia dei Musulmani di Sicilia." 

 This last promises to be a very valuable work, a side piece to Dozy's 

 Recherches sur l'histoire de l'Espagne. The publications of the 

 Parisian Asiatic Society are progressing well ; the 3rd vol. of IJm 

 JBatutah is in the press, and I believe the first of Al-Mas'udi* The 

 2nd vol. of Juynboll's Abu. '1-Mahasin is likewise out. It may in- 



* Lieut. Lees informs us on the strength of late advices from Paris (M. Mohl, 

 dated 16th August) that the printing of the " Meadows of Gold" — which had been 

 interrupted by the temporary employment in the Imperial Library of the Editor 

 was rapidly progressing, one- half of th'e 1st Vol. had been printed.
