The present edition of the Prem Sck/ar is a careful reprint of the earhest and
best edition, that of 1810. Headings to the chapters, in English, have been introduced,
Mhich, it is hoped, \Aill form a \aluable aid to the Student. A copious Vocabulary
follows the Text, which will render a Hindi Dictionary unnecessary, and contains
many words not to be found in the best Hindi Dictionary which has yet appeared
that by Mr. Thompson. It is also to be noted, that the punctuation of the Text
has been greatly altered, and tliat marks of interrogation and exclamation have been
introduced where necessary. It will Ije found, it is hoped, that typographical errors
are, in a great measure, excluded; l)ut. when it is considered that in the later
editions, such as tliat of 1831, more than twelve hundred such errors exist, tlie
Eeader will, perhaps, pardon the mistakes that nuxy meet his eye in the pivsent
pages.
When it is remembered tliat Hindi is the language ol' the laigest part of
India, bemg, in its \arious dialects, spoken by all the rustic and agricidtural
population throughout Bihar, Oude, Nepal, Bandalkand, a considerable portion of
Rajputand, Sind, and the Panjab, it will not be thought that the importance of
studying it can be exaggerated, The Bengal Government have, consequently,
du-ected that all Civilians, proceeding to the N.AV. Provinces, shall pass an
examination in Hindi; and the like qualification is still more universally required
of Military Officers. This being the case, an improved edition of the Prcm S(h/(ir
was imperatively called for, as this book is, in Hindi, what the Bdgh o Bolidr is in
Urdu, and has. consequently, been fixed upon as tlie Test in the Examinations,
both Civil and Military. It is hoped that this desideratum, under the lil)eral
patronage of the Honourable Court of Directors, has now been supplied.
