TRUBNEH & CO. heg to call attention to tlieir ORIENTAL SERIEIS, in which will be collected, as far as possible, all extant information and research upon the History^ Religions^ Languages, Literature, d:c., of Ancient India, China, and the East in general. The Oriental Series will be on a comprehensive design, and no labour or expense will be spared to render the undertaking worthy of its subject. Messrs. Trubner & Co. have already- secured the services of eminent Eastern students and writers ; and while the labour proposed must necessarily prove vast, they intend to accomplish it by working with many able hands over the whole field, under careful and well-organised Editorship. THE FOLLOWING WORKS ARE NOW READY:— Second Edition, post 8vo, cloth, pp. xvi. — 427, price i6s. ESSAYS ON THE SACRED LANGUAGE, WRITINGS, AND RELIGION OF THE PARSIS. By martin HAUG, Ph.D., Late of the Universities of Tubingen, Gottingen, and Bonn ; Superintendent of Sanskrit Studies, and Professor of Sanskrit in the Poona College ; Honorary Member of the Bombay Branch Eoyal Asiatic Society, &c. Edited by Dr. E. W. WEST. I. History of the Researches into the Sacred "Writings and Religion of the Parsis, from the Earhest Times down to the Present. II. Languages of the Parsi Scriptures. III. The Zend-Avesta, or the Scripture of the Parsis. IV. The Zoroastrian Religion, as to its Origin and Development. TRUBNER'S ORIENTAL SERIES. The Author of these Essays intended, after his return from India, to expand them into a comprehensive work on the Zoroastrian religion ; but this design, postponed from time to time, was finally frustrated by his untimely death. Thnt he was not spared to publish all his varied know- ledge on this subject must remain for ever a matter of regret to the student of Iranian antiquities. In other hands, the changes that could be introduced into this Second Edition were obviously limited to such additions and alterations as the lapse of time and the progress of Zoroastrian stiidies have rendered necessar^^ In the First Essay, the history of the European researches has been extended to the jDresent time ; but for the sake of brevity several writings have been i^assed over unnoticed, among the more valuable of which those of Professor Hiibschmann may be specially mentioned. Some account has also been given of the progress of Zoroastrian studies among the Parsis themselves. In the Second Essay, additional information has been given about the Pahlavi language and literature ; but the technical portion of the Avesta Grammar has been reserved for separate publication, being better adapted for students than for the general reader. Some additions have been made to the Tliird Essay, with the view of bringing together, from other sources, all the author's translations from the Avesta, exceiit those portions of the Gathas wliich he did not include in the First Edition, and which it would be hazardous for an Editor to revise. Further details have also been given regarding the contents of the Nasks. Several additional translations having been found among the author's pa])ers, too late for insertion in the Third Essay, liave been added in an Api)endix, after careful revision, together with his notes descriptive of the mode of performing a few of the Zoroastrian ceremonies. The Author's jmncipal object in pi;blishing these Essays originally, was to present in a readable form all the materials for judging impartially of the scriptures and religion of the Parsis, The same object has been kept in view while preparing this Second Edition, giving a large quantity of such materials, collected from a variety of sources, which may now be left to the reader's impartial judgment. The value of this Second Edition is greatly enhanced by the addition of many i^osthumous papers, discovered by the Editor, Dr. E, AVest, at Munich. Tliey consist of further translations from the Zend and Pahlavi of tlie Zend- Avesta, and also of numerous detailed notes de.scrii>tive of some of the Parsi ceremonies. TRUBNER'S ORIENTAL SERIES.

BEAL, B.A., Professor of Cliinese, University College, London. Among the gx*eat body of books comiirising tlie Cliinese Buddhist C;inon, presented by the Japanese Government to the Library of the India Office, Mr. Beal discovered a woi'k bearing the title of "Law Verses, or Scriptural Texts," wliich on examination was seen to resemble the Pali version of Dhammapada in many particulars. It was further discovered tliat the original recension of the Pali Text found its way into Cliina in the 'J'hird Century (a.d.), where the work of translation was finished, and afterwards thirteen additional sections added. Tlie Dhammapada, as hitherto known by the Pali Text Edition, as edited by Fausbijll, by Max Midler's English, and Albrecht AVeber's German translations, consists only of twenty-six chapters or sections, whilst the Chinese version, or rather recension, as now translated by Mr. Beal, consists of thirty-nine sections. The students of Pali who possess Fausboll's Text, or either of the above-named translations, will therefore needs want Mr. Beal's English rendering of the Chinese version ; the thirteen above-named additional sections not being accessible to them in any otlier form ; for, even if tliey understand Chinese, the Chinese original would be unobtainable by them.

Translated from the German by John jNLvnn, M.A., and Theodok Zachariae, Ph.D., with the sanction of the Author. Dr. BuHLER, Inspector of Schools in India, writes: — "I am extremely glad to learn that yon are about to publish an English translation of Pro- fessor A. Weber's 'History of Indian Literature.' When I was Professor of Oriental Languages in Elphinstone College, I frequently felt the want of such a work to which I could refer the students. I trust that the work which you are now publishing will become a class-book in all the Indian colleges, as it is tlie first and only scientific one which deals with the whole field of Vedic, Sanskrit, and Prakrit literature." TRUBNER'S ORIENTAL SERIES. Professor Cowell, of Cambridge, wiites : — "The English translation of Professor A. Weber's ' History of Indian Literature ' •will be of the greatest lise to those who wish to take a comprehensive survey of all that the Hindoo mind has achieved. It will be especially useful to the students in our Indian colleges and uuiversities. I used to long for such a book when I was teaching in Calcutta. Hindu students are intensely interested in the history of Sanskrit literature, and this volume will supply them with all they want on the subject. I hope it will be made a text-book wherever Sanskrit and English are taught." Professor Whitney, Yale College, Newhaven, Conn., U.S.A.
