throughout Europe ; and Professor FausbOll and Dr. Olden- 

 berg (when their present undertakings are completed), 

 Dr. Morris, Dr. Trenekner, Dr, Thiessen, Dr. Frankfurter, 

 Dr. Hultseh, Professor Ernst Kuhn, Professor Pischel, 

 Dr. Edward Miiller, Professor H. Jacobi, M, Leon Feer, 

 M. Senart, Professor Kern, and Mr. Rhys Davids, have 

 already pledged themselves to take part in the undertaking. 



It is proposed to include in the Society's series those of 

 the more important of the earlier Jain and un canonical 

 Buddhist texts which maybe expected to throw light on the 

 religious movement out of which the Pitakas also arose. 



Analyses in English of the published Texts, Introductions 

 to them, Catalogues of MSS., Indices, Glossaries, and Notes 

 and Queries on early Buddhist History will appear from 

 time to time in the Society's Publications. 



The subscription to the Society will be One Guinea a 

 year, or Five Guineas for six years, due in advance ; and no 

 charge will be made for postage. 



Those who wish to join in this important undertaking 

 should at once send their subscriptions to the Honorary 

 Secretary, as the work cannot proceed until a certain sum 

 is in hand. 



The price to Non-Subscribers will be about double the 

 price of the subscription. All profits from the sales to 

 Non-Subscribers will be devoted to increasing the number 

 of volumes to Subscribers, who will receive each year more 

 than the value of their subscriptions. 



Professor Max Miiller, Professor Cowell, Professor Weber, 

 and Dr. Host have expressed their cordial approval of the 

 objects of the Society ; other influential support is also pro- 

 mised ; and a first list of Subscribers will shortly be issued.
