A CLASSICAL DICTIONARY OF HINDU MYTHOLOGY AND RELIGION, GEOGRAPHY,
HISTORY, AND LITERATURE.
BY JOHN DOWSON, M.R.A.S., Late Professor of Hindustani, Staff College.
"This not only forms an indispensable book of reference to
students of Indian literature, but is also of great general
interest, as it gives in a concise and easily accessible
form all that need be known about the personages of Hindu
mythology whose names are so familiar, but of whom so little
is known outside the limited circle of _savants_."--_Times._
"It is no slight gain when such subjects are treated fairly
and fully in a moderate space; and we need only add that the
few wants which we may hope to see supplied in new editions
detract but little from the general excellence of Mr.
Dowson's work."--_Saturday Review._

SELECTIONS FROM THE KORAN.
BY EDWARD WILLIAM LANE,
Translator of "The Thousand and One Nights;" &c, &c.
A New Edition, Revised and Enlarged, with an Introduction by STANLEY
LANE POOLE.
"... Has been long esteemed in this country as the
compilation of one of the greatest Arabic scholars of the
time, the late Mr. Lane, the well-known translator of the
'Arabian Nights.'... The present editor has enhanced the
value of his relative's work by divesting the text of a
great deal of extraneous matter introduced by way of
comment, and prefixing an introduction."--_Times._
"Mr. Poole is both a generous and a learned biographer....
Mr. Poole tells us the facts ... so far as it is possible
for industry and criticism to ascertain them, and for
literary skill to present them in a condensed and readable
form."--_Englishman, Calcutta._
