BOOK REVIEWS which I have not yet read. I hope to be able to report on both translations in a future issue of The Eastern Buddhist. The long delay in the publication of this volume has not prevented the presence of a great number of misprints. Particularly annoying are the transcription errors in Sanskrit and Tibetan words, which abound in several of the articles. However, one would gladly accept these imperfections if the contents of this volume were more satisfactory. According to the introduction "these studies and essays are representative of the work of modern Buddhist scholarship." Happily enough, this is not the case. Let us hope that they are not even representative of Buddhist scholarship in the United States! J. W. DE JONG. 161
