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 Revised 

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

 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 thei 

 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, aud will be 

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

 per copy. 



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

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

 published, to Indian subscribers. 



The Society have received fifty copies of Professor Hermam 

 Schlagintweit's Isothermal chart of India, for gratuitous distribution t< 



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

 on application to the Secretary.
