It is a genuine pleasure to any earnest student to have such a work laid before him, and that its publication will immensely facilitate the study of Japanese there cannot be a moment's doubt. Everyone reading the literature of the day in Japan is confronted by the difficult task of finding exact English equivalents for many new words although their meaning may be sufficiently intelligible. With Mr. Gubbins Dictionary beside one this trouble is virtually at an end. . . .

The period dealt with covers the history of Egypt from the earliest date to the fourteenth dynasty, and that of Chaldæa during its first Empire. The aspect of the valleys of the Nile and the Euphrates, their climate, their productions, religion, manners, and customs, the organization of their respective States, their traditions, and all that is known of their kings and dynasties, are dealt with by a master hand.

Vaidya, stout 8vo. xvi and 890 pp. treble cols. hf. bd. 88 This work has been prepared by "one of our best Sanskrit graduates to satisfy the long-felt want of a cheap, handy, trustworthy Dictionary, complete in itself, and easy of reference, thus making it the book for students. It is not a mere compilation or abridgment. While standard works like the Vàchaspatya, Monier Williams', the Sanscrit-German Wörterbuch and others have been consulted, many of the references, &c., are the author's own. It is no exaggeration to say that the work is thus superior to any Bombay, 1889 of its kind hitherto published and is far cheaper than any. Quotations and references, mythological and other allusions, idiomatic expressions and their uses, choice English equivalents, in short all that a student wants is there, and it is confidently expected that so far as the study of the Classical Sanskrit works in our Schools and Colleges is concerned, the Standard Sanskrit-English Dictionary is a work which the students of Sanskrit cannot afford to dispense with.

Turkish Language : REDHOUSE'S ENGLISH-TURKISH and TURKISH-ENGLISH Dictionary, new and enlarged edition, by Dr. CHARLES WELLS, PH.D., complete in two parts, forming one vol. 8vo. double columns (pub. at £2.), cloth, reduced to 258 1880 The first edition has been long entirely out of print; the few copies which have turned up occasionally have been sold much above the original publishing price. "Those who are interested in Turkish literature will be glad to learn that Redhouse's Turkish Dictionary, printed twenty-five years ago, having become exhausted, the publisher, Mr. Quaritch of Piccadilly, has determined on issuing a second edition, which will be revised and enlarged by Dr. Wells, who was for many years in the Turkish Government service as Professor of English, and who published an interesting collection of Turkish tales and poems some years since, under the title of 'Mehemet the Kurd, and other Tales from Eastern Sources.' Mr. Quaritch has also engaged Dr. Wells to write a Turkish Grammar, the want of which, since our Government has been brought into such close connection with Turkey, has been much felt, those which have hitherto existed being very scarce, extremely defective, and full of errors. The above two works by Dr. Wells will be most useful to those who may be called to live in the East, but we would urge on the Government the advisability of founding a Turkish Professorship at one of our Universities and appointing such a man as the author of these books. There are Government professorships of Turkish in Paris, Vienna, Pesth, and St. Petersburg, but in England we have none, although we are more interested in promoting the cultivation of the Turkish language than any European country. We may add that Dr. Wells' Turkish Grammar will be dedicated, by permission, to Lieutenant-General Sir A. Kemball, K.C.B., whose private secretary Dr. Wells was when the General represented England on the Turco-Persian Boundary Commission at Constantinople." - Public Opinion, May 10th, 1879. WELLS (Dr. Charles) A PRACTICAL GRAMMAR of the TURKISH LANGUAGE, based upon the best modern Turkish work on the subject; also including such rules of Arabic and Persian Grammar as have been adopted by the Turks, Svo. (pub. at 15s), cloth, reduced to 108 1880 This is the best Turkish Grammar ever written. The author's knowledge of the Turkish Language is exceptionally good and is only inferior to that possessed by One scholar, Mr. Redhouse. The Saturday Review, October 18th, 1879, in reviewing a new Turkish Manual, says :-" It is scarcely likely to fill the place which is still open for a thorough Anglo-Turkish Grammar and Reading Book." I trust that DR. WELLS'S TURKISH GRAMMAR, now ready, does supply this want. "Dr. Wells's Turkish Grammar is a useful manual of acquiring the Ottoman tongue as spoken in Constantinople, and contains numerous exercises for translation from English into that language. It is an improvement on most of the preceding grammars, inasmuch as it is written on the same lines as the most approved manuals for the study of modern European languages." REDHOUSE'S Lexicon ENGLISH and TURKISH, by J. W. Redhouse, in one volume, royal 8vo. 827 pp. double columns, hf. morocco, £2. 28 London, Bernard Quaritch, 1861 This is the counterpart of the great Turkish-English Lexicon above mentioned, and is the most complete and useful of all English-Turkish Dictionaries. It is even found to be indispensable as an English-Persian Dictionary by those who are employed in the English diplomatic service in Persia, notwithstanding the excellence of other recent works specially devoted to their use. DR. CHARLES WELLS, the Literature of the Turks: A TURKISH CHRESTOMATHY, 8vo. xx and 272 pp., cloth, 168 1891 The first Turkish Reading book ever published, consisting of Extracts in Turkish from the best Turkish Authors (Historians, Novelists, Dramatists), with interlinear and free translations in English, biographical and grammatical notes and Facsimiles of MS. Letters and Documents. "This is the first good Turkish reading book which has been published in England, and it will be welcomed by all students of Turkish as a valuable addition to the books available for learning that language. Dr. Wells, who is Professor of Turkish in the School of Modern Oriental Languages founded by the Imperial Institute, and is author of an excellent Turkish Grammar, published by Quaritch in 1880, has taken great pains to make this Chrestomathy as complete as possible and of graduated difficulty, commencing with easy sentences, and going on to selections from some of the best Turkish authors. Translations of each piece are given for the assistance of students who have to work without a teacher."--United Service Journal. G. NORMAN AND SON, PRINTERS, FLORAL STREET, COVENT GARDEN. |
