In several places it would be better to read Imfikd/ teaching/ instead of hamd-kun, 'every kind (or mode)/ so as to obtain the following amended passages: — P. 23, II. 14-16. Then the exalting chanted teaching of AQharmas^ for

the keepers ^ those flocks ; the happy effect of the flock and that

of the keeper's teaching ; &c. „ 11. 23-28, that of the disciple through the teaching by the priestly

instructor ; the teaching of the priestly instructor for the pupil, and

the happy effect of the priestly instructor's teaching in similar

matters. P. 119, 11. 2-5, the want of eminence of any one through a teaching that

is an offence to others, which is owing to his closed doors and evil

eminence in teaching ; &c. Professor Darmesteter has suggested the following correction : — P. 26, IL 22, 23, for ^ hosed upon the traditional early law (vasarW

€T from tba QVABTBXI^T B

' We rejoice to notice that a second
series of these translations has been an-
nounced and has actually begun to appear.
The stones, at least, out of which a stately
edifice may hereafter arise, are here being
broDght together. Prof. Max Miiller has
deserved well of scientific history. Not
a few minds owe to his enticing words
their first attraction to this branch of
study. Bat no work of his, not even the

great edition of the Rig- Veda, can com-
pare in importance or in usefulness w^ith
this English translation of the Sacred
Books of the East, which has been devised
by his foresight, successfully brought so
far by his persuasive and organising
power, and will, we trust, by the assist-
ance of the distinguished scholars he h.is
gathered rouhd him, be carried in due
time to a happy completion.'

ProfoMior B. SA&DT, Zimiigiiral Z^otnro in the ValTendtarof FroHmr^, 1887.

Die allgemeine vergleichende Reli-
gionswissenschaft datirt von jenem gross-
artigen, in seiner Art einzig dastchenden
Untemehmen, zu welchem auf Anregung

London der Grundstein gelrgt worden
