the propriety of Government records in Mofussil Courts being written

guard against mistakes, I should add here that the ordinary yellow paper

History of paper. 5. It is well known that originally the Hindus

used leaves of trees for writing upon, whence the name of letters in Sanskrit
has become paira, and lateiiy newspapers have been designated by the
oldest manuscript on paper I have seen is a copy of the
same name. The
Bhagavata Purana now in the possession of Babu Harischandra of Benares.

It bears date, Samvat, 1367.=A. C. 1310, and is consequently 565
years old. Its paper is of a very good quality, and judging from it, it is
to be inferred that the people of the country
must have,
at the time
when
was written, attained considerable proficiency in paper-mating. Long

before that time, in the reign of Bhqja Eaja of Dhara, a work was written
on letter- wiiting (the Pnuasti-praitas'ika), and in it detailed directions
it
are given for folding the material of letters, for leaving a large space on
left side of such letters as margin, for cutting a portion of the left
the
lower corner, for decorating the front with gold leaf, for writing the

PREFACE.
Berlin Catalogue of Professor Weber and the Bodleian Catalogue of Dr. Aufrecht are by far the best specimens
The
of descriptive catalogues of Sanskrit Manuscripts that have

yet been presented to the public. Without pretending to
give a complete
"
summary
of every book, like D'Herbelot's
Bibliotheque Orientale" or Taylor's
" Examination and

Ana-
Mackenzie Manuscripts," they afford all the information about the codices noticed that can reasonably be
expected from works of that description. In preparing the
lysis of the
following pages, the author has adopted those works for his
models, and followed them as closely as circumstances would
admit of. Writing, in many instances, without an opportunity of seeing the texts, and depending in such cases solely on
notes prepared by pandits, who do not always enter into his
what
wanted, owing also to the fact of the work

being designed to serve only as an inventory a help to
others who may hereafter take up the task of analysis he
has not been able to supply quite as much information as his
ideas of
is
models do, and make his notices quite as
full.
It is expected,
however, that in the majority of instances, the descriptions

given will be found to be all that are needed for a correct
understanding of the works
enumerated, and in the case
of the larger works, to supply a sufficient indication of their

nature to help the future analyst in making his choice of
what
really
require further
examination.
It
would have
IV
been a source of satisfaction to the writer if he could have

added a few extracts with translations of important passages,
but they would have been foreign to the scope of these
"
and would have involved the devotion of more
Notices,"
time, labour and expense than he was in a position to afford.
The plan followed in collecting information for thi&
work

will be
