8. The Folio compilation of the BENGAL REGULATIONS, published in 1828-29,

9. In 1842 a preliminary "GLOSSARY OF INDIAN TERMS," drawn up at the E. I.
House by Prof. H. H. Wilson, 4to, unpublished, with a blank column on each
page "for Suggestions and Additions," was circulated in India, intended as
a basis for a comprehensive official Glossary. In this one the words are
entered in the vulgar spelling, as they occur in the documents.

This remarkable work has been revised, re-arranged, and re-edited, with
additions from Elliot's notes and other sources, by Mr. JOHN BEAMES, of the
Bengal Civil Service, under the title of "MEMOIRS ON THE FOLK-LORE AND

give the proper title.
