FOR PUBLTSIITNG BY SUBSCRIPTION A TRANSLATION OP 



THE LIFE OF GAUDAMA, 



[REVISED EDITION,] 

 BY THE RIGHT REV. P. BIGANDET, D. D. 



The value of the above work is fully appreciated by all 

 readers of Boodhist literature, and needs no recommendation. , 



The former edition has been out of print some years, and is 

 often sought for. It is, therefore, proposed to issue a Revisi d 

 Edition, with the notes improved and the text in a larger typo 

 than the former edition. 



This edition is not only a revised but an improved one, in 

 that it has been compared with several Palm Leaf copies of the 

 original, obtained from Burmah since the first was printed, and 

 the text enlarged to a great extent. 



Should sufficient encouragement be given, the work will be 

 put to press at once. 



The book will be an Octavo of some 600 pages, and will be 

 issued to subscribers, in stiff paper covers, for Six Rupees 

 per copy. 



N. B. — The Secretaries of the Asiatic Society of Bengal will keep 

 a register of the names of subscribers, and forward the work, when 

 published, to Indian subscribers. 



The Society have received fifty copies of Professor Hermann 

 Schlagintweit's Isothermal chart of India, for gratuitous distribution to 

 those members of the Society who wish for copies. They may be had; 

 on application to the Secretary. 



NOTICE TO MEMBERS. 



Authors who desire their communications to be discussed at the 

 meetings of the Society previous to publication in the Journal, are 

 requested to send, with the original paper, an abstract not exceeding 

 3 or 4 octavo pages of letter press
