(in N. America.) The said Panditjee has also taken much pains for imbibing the sprit or essence of the original work into the mind of its translator who has to the best of his ability, followed the original work to produce this. My thanks are chiefly due to the said Panditjee and also to the translator Mr. M. Sundarachariar and the publisher Mr. V. Krishnaswamy.
I have no doubt, that MAHARAJAS, RAJAS, NOBLES, NAWABS, PROFESSORS, Students and others who admire descrip. tions of the beauties of nature and qualities of nimals and birds, will not go without patting the said PanditJee and encouraging by purchaising copies of this work. I believe and also hope that readers will be so generous as not to mind the gramatical mistakes, style and other drawbacks in publishing this book and care only for its essence, as Swan takes milk alone from a mixture of water and milk.
