The appendices contain lists of musical instruments, agricultural implements, coins, weights and measures, a vocabulary of Parbatiya and Newâri words, 5 Newari songs with interlinear versions, a recapitulation of the lists of rulers, and a catalogưe of about 360 MSS. procured by Dr. Wright for the University of Cambridge, some of them apparently of great age. All the older among them are on palm leaves and are dated in the Nepalese Samvat. Among them may be noted two copies of Ashtasdhasriká dated respectively in the 3rd and 5th years of the Nepal Samvat, or A. D. 883 and 885, and a third A. D. 1008, also a copy of the Kdeya Kanda-kramdvali dated in the 10th year of the era. There is also a fine copy of Yasomitra's commentary on the Abhidharmakosa of Vasubandhu. The Tantra literature is especially well represented; and among others is a copy of the Arya-Manjusrimalatantra, the historical value of which was noticed by Burnouf.
The book is well got up and illustrated by sixteen plates : four are portraits from photographs of Nepalese celebrities; one double-page coloured plate gives the Five Buddhas, their Tarks or female counterparts, and Bodhisatvas, scarcely differing from the same figures as given by Mr. Hodgson ; another double-page plate gives the prayer of Pratápa Malla to Kalikå (dated New. Sar. 774) inscribed in fifteen different languages; a lithograph is given of the pádukas of Buddha and Man. jubri (p. 78), and the rest (nine) are views chiefly of temples.
Dr. Wright, in his part of the work, does not show much acquaintance with what has been before written on the subject by Kirkpatrick, Dr. Buchanan Hamilton, and especially Hodgson. To none of these authorities does he even refer, and this must be felt as a defect by every one interested in the subject, who will have to fall back on these earlier writers for fuller information.
