Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India

Excerpt from A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India Vol. 2: To Wit Hindi Panjabi Sindhi Gujarati Marathi Oriya and Bangali. Two years and a half have elapsed since I sent home my First Volume. This Second Volume would have been ready sooner but for the constant interruptions to which I have been subjected. The pressure of official work has largely increased and at one time when I was called on to take charge of the administration of the Province of Orissa was so heavy as to compel me to lay aside all literary work for six months.. To this cause must also be ascribed much of the dis jointed and unfinished appearance of some parts of the work for which I must ask the reader''s indulgence.. About the Publisher.
