A PANDIT'S REMARKS ON PROFESSOR MAX MÜLLER'S TRANSLATION OF THE SACRED HYMNS OF THE BRAHMANS.'

It rejoices us exceedingly that the best of our native Pandits are now engaged in examining the right and wrong methods of interpreting the Veda. We congratulate the most learned

them in this Journal (The Pandit ), so that they might
meet the eyes of all native scholars. But oh ! how extra
ordinary are the labours of the intelligent, and the results of
their perseverance! for the ability in interpreting the Veda, shown by such men as Professor Moksha-mûlara (Max
Müller), a mere Mlechchha (barbarian), who has never been has filled our heart with astonishment.

These European scholars do not set forth their own opinions from any ill-will to us, nor do they ignore the excellencies of the native commentary of Sâyan'a, or dwell on its defects only. No, their chief object is to find out the truth ; and the
opinion of learned men, who are not committed in favour of

meaning, but they are most anxious to prevent others, who are fond of such studies. Does the opinion of such people deserve any weight? We hope therefore that the intelligent translators may, without fail, reap the desired reward from
your commentator Sâyan'a an inspired writer, like Vyâsa Dvaipâyana and others, so that there could not be any mistake in his interpretations. And if you say that he did not invent his interpretations himself, but that he only wrote them down, after he had consulted the opinions of Yâska and of the Brahman'as, then we answer : "Let us see, then, whether Sayan'a has caught the real and appropriate mean
ing or not. All men are fallible, and therefore no one ought to say that only what was written by Sâyan'a is true, and what is said by others is false."
And this has also been remarked by the learned Dr. Myúra (Dr. Muir), viz., that many passages in the Veda are not clearly understood by Yaska's Nirukta or Sáyan'a's Com

mentary, and that therefore we must rely on assistance to be derived from other languages, and adopt such meanings only as are appropriate and free from uncertainty. Moreover, Sâyan'a does not always adopt the opinion of Yâska in the interpretation of words; secondly, both Sâyan'a and Yâska give sometimes, because they are uncertain themselves, two or more interpretations of the same word; thirdly,
Sayan'a himself interprets the same word differently in different places Uncertainty therefore exists, and what we
want is an interpretation free from uncertainty.
Now we shall give as a specimen the respective renderings by Sâyan'a and Moksha-mûlara (Max Müller) of the 5th and the two is clear and convincing.

VALMIKI'S RÁMÁYANA.-Mr. Ralph Griffith, of the Be- nares College, has completed a metrical translation of the Northern Recension of Valmiki's Rámáyana. The first volume, containing the first book and part of the second, will soon be ready for publication. There will be a preface giving an account of the poem and the translations of it that have been completed or begun; foot-notes will be given, where they seem to be required, from Schlegel, Gorresio, native commentators, and original; long notes and appendices will conclude the volume. Messrs. Trübner & Co., 8 and 60, Paternoster Row, London, will be the European publishers of the work.
GENEALOGICAL.-A very curious little book has lately been issued from the press at Poona (India). This volume professes to be a "History of the Rise, Decline, and Present State of the Shastree Family. Illustrated by notes, documents, and portrait of the founder of the Shastree family." These pages are humbly dedicated by the author to the memories of the distinguished John Fitzgibbon, second Earl of Clare, and Sir James Rivett-Camac, Bart., late Governors of Bombay, who took an almost paternal interest in the Shastree family, and to all those who have taken, and do take, an interest in this family.
THE LORD'S PRAYER.-MR. W. Watts has published, in a handsome crown 8vo. volume, of 116 leaves, "Our Lord's Prayer in One Hundred Languages," at the very moderate price of 10s. The work was compiled by S. Apostolides, Esq., a Greek gentleman, and well-known linguist, for the benefit of the Cretan refugees now in Greece, who lost their fortunes in their struggle with Turkey. The book is dedicated to the King and Queen of the Hellenes. The style in which it is got up is admirable. Mr. Watts's printing office is probably the richest in the world for types of all languages, and its wealth in this respect is happily illustrated by the volume in question.
Histoire de la Littérature Hindouie et Hindoustanie, par M. Garcin de Tassy. Seconde édition, revue, corrigée, et con- sidérablement augmentée. Tome premier. 8vo. pp. iv. and 624. Paris, 1870.-The first edition of this valuable work, published in 1839 under the patronage of the Oriental Trans- lation Fund, and dedicated to Her Gracious Majesty the Queen of England, has for a long time been out of print. M. Garcin de Tassy, who has rendered so many signal services by his various excellent works on Hindi and Hin- dustani philology and other Indian subjects, deserves the gratitude of all scholars for having prepared a new edition of his history of Hindi literature, the most important for every one desiring to know what the state and history of Urdu literature is and has been. The work, which exhibits profound research and indefatigable industry, cannot fail, still further, to increase the reputation of the learned author.
Grammatik der classischen armenischen Sprache, von Dr. M. Lauer. Wien, 1869.-Though France has for many years been the only European country in which the study of the Armenian language may be said to have flourished and borne fruit (witness the publications of M. J. St. Martin, V. Langlois, Dulaurier); and though some valuable texts, as well as grammatical and lexical works, have also been printed in Russia, Italy, and Germany, the language has not received, least of all in England, that measure of attention which, from its importance to the linguist, theologian, and historian, it so fully deserves. Of the aids till recently available for the study of the classical Armenian dialect, Professor J. H. Petermann's larger grammar takes the first rank, while his more useful "Brevis linguæ Armeniaca grammatica" (Berlin, 1841), which has the additional advantage of a chrestomathy and vocabulary, and the ex- haustive grammar by J. Ch. Cirbied (Paris, 1823), have long become very scarce. In this dearth of elementary helps for the acquisition of Armenian, Dr. Lauer's short grammar deserves to be the more heartily welcomed, as it is based on sound principles of modern science, and bestows a due share of attention on the subject of syntax-a chapter far too much neglected by writers on comparative philology, and in grammars of Oriental languages generally. The author proposes to supply the want of a good Armenian text-book by an annotated edition, with full glossary of the History of Armenia, by Moses of Khorene; and we trust that by it he may succeed in bringing many new students of that in- teresting language into the field.
Institutiones Fundamentales Linguæ Arabica, in usum Juventutis Academicæ, editæ ab Hermanno Zschokke. 8vo. pp. 202. Vindobonæ, 1869. The small compass of this work only allows a concise statement of the main structure of Arabic Grammar; and the author has curtailed that space by an unexpected appendix of 19 pages, containing a sketch of the peculiarites of modern vulgar Arabic. The book is based on Oberleitner's Fundamenta Ling. Arabicæ (Vienna, 1822), which never had much repute, but it has been some- what modernized in conformity with Ewald's grammar. The author acknowledges this in his preface; and the ring of Ewald's Latin style is often audible to instructed ears. It is rather startling, in our time, to hear the two tenses of the Arabic verb called the two Aorists. Type and paper are good, and the book may be useful to those commencing this study. MR. TALBOYS WHEELER-A few kindly farewell words are due to a meritorious public servant, about to be translated to a wider sphere of utility. The Supreme Government, in recog. nition of the pre-eminent industry and intelligence of Mr. Wheeler, has appointed him to the honourable post of Secretary to the Government of British Burmah. General Fytche has, of all men, perhaps, the greatest reason to con gratulate himself on the selection of such an able and conscientious collaborateur. During the eight years Mr. Wheeler has served in the Foreign Office he has enjoyed many opportunities of making his talents known to those placed in authority over him, and we may safely affirm that very much of the efficiency of that office has been due to his methodical business-like habits, his quick perception, his facility of expression, and perfect mastery of the English language. As a literary man, Mr. Wheeler has written his name in enduring characters. His work upon the Geography of Herodotus has been consulted with advantage by our ripest scholars, while his magnum opus on the prehistoric ages of Hindoostan has already commanded a European reputation. Mr. Wheeler's departure from Calcutta will be regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will watch his future career with interest and undoubting confidence.— Calcutta Englishman, Jan 13.
GRAVESTONE OF THE APOSTLE THOMAS, NEAR MADRAS — For many years a bitter dispute has raged between the Irish, Dutch, and French Catholic missionaries in India, on the one side, and the so-called Portuguese priests on the other. The former came to India in time of trouble, and when the Portu- guese had deserted their ancient settlements and converts; now that peace is restored, they are asked by an ignorant and degraded rabble to resign their establishments in favour of the latter, who claim the exclusive jurisdiction granted them by Papal briefs more than 300 years ago. The actual authorities are unwilling to cancel these documents, though they were originally obtained by misrepresentation and for- gery. When the Portuguese priests first visited India they transformed the Syrians settled there into Christians of St. Thomas, and invented a complete history of their sufferings in a short time they improved upon their first account, and not content with discovering the tomb of St. Thomas, they manufactured a gravestone as evidence of the truth of their great discovery. As the story is now told, it seems that a miracle drew attention to a small granite slab buried near Madras, and that, after some delay and with considerable difficulty, two persons were found who explained the in- scription on it. These worthies (a Brahman and a Jew!) both agreed in their interpretation, and declared that this stone covered the tomb of the "Holy Thomas, who preached the Gospel in India, and was martyred there by enraged Brahmans." This absurd tale has often been quoted in modern descriptions of Madras and S. India, and several miracles are said to have been lately worked by this stone, which still remains where it was originally placed, viz., be- hind the altar of the Portuguese Church at St. Thomas's Mount, a few miles from Madras. The late Vicar Apostolic of Madras had long suspected an imposition, and got a tracing of the stone, but his sudden death prevented the publication of an exposure as he intended. A slight description is suffi cient to show how clumsy an attempt at forgery this is. The stone is a small slab of granite, with a semicircular head; in the centre is a fleur-de-lys cross (of the 1st century!), with a rough bas-relief of a dove hovering over it; round the margin (except at the bottom) is a single line of about twenty fanciful marks, which are clearly imitated from the modern
Tamil character, and would hardly be sufficient to express the name, much less the long inscription, which should be there according to the legend. It is hardly necessary to say that a genuine Indian inscription of the 1st century, A.D. would be in the old Tamil character, or in that of the Açoka inscriptions; the modern Tamil character, which the forgers imitated, is not above 500 years old. The whole story and the interpretation of this pretended inscription are given in Card. Baronius's Ecclesiastical Annals; it is to be hoped that the editor of the new edition of this work (M. Theiner) will refuse to admit it.-B.
HINDOO MATTERS.-Under the head of "Hindoo Yearn. ings," a missionary says:-"I was much struck with this in reading lately a Tamil Book, the product of a splendid Hindoo mind, one hundred and fifty years ago. Let me give you a free translation of a passage which I made at the time of perusing it, so forcibly did it arrest my attention :-'I yearn for Him. Oh, ye Sun and Moon, tell me who set you in your unvarying course of day and night? Do you know his glory? Oh, thou blowing Wind, by whose power dost thou whirl through the reaims of space? Speak to me of Him. Oh, ye Clouds, which come and drop in thirsty places your genial rain, think and speak! Can you tell me the way in which my Divine Master pours down, as freely as ye do, His copious showers of grace? Oh, thou incomprehensible Sky, canst thou describe Him who transcends thy measureless
height? Oh, thou sounding Sea, thou of unutterable sub- limity, who stretchest forth thy wave hands, say, who established thy vast bounds? Tell me, too, ye forest birds with variegated wings, have ye ever gazed upon and spoken with Him who is my lover, who dwelleth every- where? If ye have, commune with me about Him."" -The Bride's Mirror is the title of a novel for Hindoo ladies. It is written in the chastest colloquial style, and depicts with close fidelity and artistic skill not merely the everyday life of the Indian Mussulman, but that inner domestic life from which he is so unwilling to draw the veil. The publication of this work is a most remarkable incident in the history of Hindoo literature. Sir William Muir and Mr. Kempson vouch for the style, and the author, Mahomed Nazir Ahmid, Settlement Officer at Jaloun, has received a reward of 1,000 rupees from the Government, which has also taken 2,000 copies of the work. - A new scheme of worship has been broached at Benares, in a project for a Church of Truism, one-third to be appropriated to Christian worship. one-third to the Mussulmans, and one-third to the Hindoos,
CHINESE TYPOGRAPHY.-The destruction by fire of a wing of the Emperor's Palace in Peking will be a great loss, as it contained large stores of books, and of blocks for book-printing. It was in this building that all the books were produced which have been printed at the imperial cost for more than two centuries.
