PUBLISHER'S NOTE

.
can be possible only if the wealthy people also co-operate with us. We cherish the hope that the present publication will draw the attention of the rich. We have ventured to undertake the publication of such a big work, even though the funds of the Society are so scanty, with the hope that public attention would be drawn to the quality of work that is being done by the Society. We consider it a duty to acknowledge our thankfulness to Sheth Bholabhai J. Dalal and Sheth Premchand K. Kotawala, the Trustecs of the Kotawala Trust for their liberal encouragement in this respect. As regards the author he regards the Society as his own and has written the work as a part of his duty. We wish that the work receives appreciation of scholars and proves an incentive to the author for the writing of similar valuable works in future.
In conclusion, I place on record, on behalf of the Society, our thankfulness to Mahamahopādhyāya Dr Gopinath Kaviraj for the illuminating Foreword he has written for this book in spite of the multifarious calls on his valuable time.
