Descripción

Self-wraps 20 x 33cm. iv (title and Preface Explanatory) + 50 + (1)pp, disbound from a larger volume. Near fine, with extraction residue to the spine and contemporary neat calligraphic hand-numbering to the top right corners of the rectos. This was issued separately to the monumental Fifth Report on British India as a useful compilation of words it contained "adopted from most of the languages current throughout India - from Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, Hindustany, Bengaly, Telinga, Tamul, Canara, and Malabar; and a few from Turkish and Malay". The words are shown in their various forms "there being no fixed rules for the notation of Oriental terms in the letters of our imperfect alphabet" (p. iii). Yule and Burnell later drew on it for Hobson Jobson. N° de ref. del artículo 4468
