ALBERÛN Î'S INDIA.

AN ACCOUNT OF THE

Religion, Philosophy, Literature, Chronology, Astronomy, Customs, Laws and Astrology of India, about A.D. 1030.

EDITED IN THE ARABIC ORIGINAL

By Dr. EDWARD SACHAU,

Professor in the Royal University of Berlin.

With an Index of the Sanskrit Words.

The time of Alberûnî, that of the great Mahmûd of Ghazna, is the end of the political independence of India, and the inauguration of Muhammadan rule, in fact the beginning of a historic development which terminated in the establishment of British rule throughout the whole of the peninsula. Already before Mahmûd, foreign invaders had conquered parts of India, but they again had, in their turn, been conquered by Indian civilization, so as to become Indians by the same process of assimilation by which the Bulgarians, originally a Turkish tribe, have become Slavonians, and the great tribe of the Ghilzai in Afghanistan, who originally were Turks, have become Afghans. The Muhammadans, however, remained in India what they were when they entered. Though adopting the language of their subjects, and many of their customs, they remained in law and religion, foreigners to the country. India as sketched by Albêrûnî, is India at the close of its national existence.

THE SPIRITUAL COUPLETS

OF MAULÁNA JALÁLU:D-DÍN MUHAMMAD 1 RÚMÍ.

In modern language, the Masnavi may be called the "Divina Commedia," or the "Paradise Lost" of Islam-a summary of religious thought, a " Théodicée," justifying the way of Allah to man, and a standard of religious feeling. In India, it is regarded as a very weighty document of the Faith, second only to the Koran and the Traditions; in Turkey, according to KHAJA 'AINI, one of the 'Ulama, it is esteemed "the amulet of the soul;" and Sir J. MALCOLM and Mr. HUGHES, in spite of its Sunni bias, call it the Bible of Persia.

MÂNAVA-DHARMA-CASTRA:

THE CODE OF MANU.

ORIGINAL SANSKRIT TEXT WITH CRITICAL NOTES.

By J. JOLLY, Ph.D.

Professor of Sanskrit in the University of Wurzburg; late Tagore Professor of Law
in the University of Calcutta.

The Mânava-Dharma-câstra, or Manu-smriti, has been edited twice in Europe and a great many times in India. Nevertheless, a new critical edition of the most authoritative Sanskrit lawbook of India, which is at the same time one of the most widely read works in the whole range of ancient Indian literature, has been universally considered as a desideratum long since. The two European editions, Sir G. C. Haughton's, published in 1825, and Loiseleur Deslongchamps, published in 1830, though very creditable productions in their own time, belong to a bygone period of Sanskrit studies and have long been out of print, while the numerous Indian editions are on the whole nothing but reprints from the two earliest Calcutta editions, published in 1813 and 1830,

LIFE OF GIORDANO BRUNO, NOLAN.

THE

By I. FRITH.

Revised by Professor MORIZ CARRIERE.

SPECTATOR.-"His animated pictures of his life in London, of the courteous, cultivated and hospitable gentlemen he met with, and of the rude and almost savage manners of the lower classes and their hatred of foreigners, form one of the most interesting and graphic pictures we have of England and Englishmen in the reign of Elizabeth. In this work, the English reader will obtain, for the first time, a detailed narrative of the philosopher's life and an account of many of his works."

ATHENÆUM.—“ "The interest of the book lies in the conception of Bruno's character and in the elucidation of his philosophy. His writings dropped from him wherever he went, and were published in many places. Their number is very large, and the bibliographical appendix is not the least valuable part of this volume. We are tempted to multiply

quotations from the pages before us, for Bruno's utterances have a rare charm through their directness, their vividness, their poetic force. Bruno stands in relation to later philosophy, to Kant or Hegel, as Giotto stands to Raphael. We feel the merit of the more complete and perfect work; but we are moved and attracted by the greater individuality which accompanies the struggle after expression in an earlier and simpler age. Students of philosophy will know at once how much labour has been bestowed upon this modest attempt to set forth Bruno's significance as a philosopher. We have contented ourselves with showing how much the general reader may gain from a study of its pages, which are never overburdened by technicalities and are never dull."

MIND."The biography is interestingly written and accurate in its facts. It relates practically everything that is known of Bruno's life, including the results of the latest documents of all-those discovered in the archives of Geneva by M. Theophile Dufour."

SATURDAY REVIEW.-" Bruno's life, which is fully told here, and has been, not unfrequently but not so fully, told before, is very amusing, or would be so if its comedy were not saddened by the tragedy of the end."

THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THOUGHT IN ITS PRACTICAL ASPECT, FROM ITS ORIGIN IN INFANCY. By GEORGE WALL, F.L.S., F.R.A.S.

Author of "Good and Evil in the Relation to the Dispensations of Providence."

FOLK-LORE OF EUROPE DURING THE MIDDLE AGES. By M. GASTER.

The intention of these Ilchester Lectures is to give a sketch of the origin and development of the Slavonic Nations in the Balkan Peninsula, and of the old Slavonic Literature which became the basis of the literature and of the Folk-lore of the various peoples belonging to the Greeko-orthodox Church—such as the Bulgarians, Servians and Russians, and also of the non-Slavonic Roumanians. The old Slavonic literature, based upon the Byzantine, is likewise a reflex of this less-known portion of the Greek literature, and contributes to a better knowledge of it.

THE DUTIES AND THE RIGHTS OF MAN.
A Treatise on Deontology.

In which are Demonstrated the Individual, Social and International Duties of Man,
and his indirect Duties towards Animals.

By J. B. AUSTIN.

MORNING POST.-" The author has endeavoured to set forth the many and important duties which man has to fulfill in his various capacities, duties which are the result of his own rights. The enumeration is lengthy, but compensation will be found in the increased feelings of man's superiority, as indicated by that freedom of will which enables him to fulfil his duty towards himself, his neighbour and his Creator."

SOCIAL HISTORY OF THE RACES OF

PAPUO AND MALAYO MELANESIANS.

SATURDAY REVIEW.-"The general reader will find plenty of interesting information in Mr. Featherman's book."

SCOTSMAN. "Full of interesting information.

It should become a familiar source of reference for all who care to know the distinguishing characteristics of a numerous and attractive section of the human race.'

MIND." There is nothing to be added here to what has formerly been said of the author's extraordinary patience and diligence in the composition of a work which he now describes (incidentally) as a history of peoples in their social capacity, including their manners and customs, their government, their religion, their superstitions, and their literary, artistic and scientific advancement, or, more shortly, as a universal history of civilisation."

NEW YORK EVENING POST.-"A vast number of details about the Pacific Islanders which may serve as material for social and religious history. It is a merit of the work that it does not attempt to make theories, but sets down the simple facts in orderly arrangement and without comment.'
