of his translation of Bopp's Comparative Grammar, but the book is 

 still disfigured by many inaccuracies, which are noticed with some

In the Journal Asiatique No. 2 (March and April) is the first 

 part of a Sanskrit work, text and translation, called Bhoja-Prabandha, 

 or the history of Bhoj of Malwa, not the Bhoj of the Mahabharat, 

 but Bhoj son of Sindhoula, who reigned about the middle of the 

 10th century, A. D. and whose capital was at Dhar or Dhara on the 

 Nerbudda. Sindhoula is not mentioned in the list which Pere 

 Tieffenthaler has given of the Malwa kings, but he, Prof. "Wilson

The MS., of the completeness of which the Editor M. Pavie has

 an elaborate essay on the ' Languages of the Seat of War in the 

 East,' of which two copies have been sent for our library. The 

 latter, though hurriedly written, will prove of more than temporary 

 service ; it brings together and into a small compass much valu- 

 able philological information beyond the reach of the generality of 

 students.
