PREPARING FOR THE PRESS.

Râmâyana, id est, Carmen epicum de Ramæ rebus gestis, a poëta antiquissimo Vâlmîke, lingua Sanscrita compositum. Textum Codd. Mss. collatis recensuit, adnotationes criticas et interpretationem Latinam adjecit Augustus Guilelmus Schlegel.

a

The text of the poem and the version will make seven large 8vo. volumes; an eighth volume, which is to contain the introduction and general illustrations, will appear at the conclusion, though intended to be placed at the head of the work. The whole will be published in portions of two volumes each, and the price of such a portion, delivered in London, will be 4l.

The text will be printed in the Devanagari character, of which the types were cut and cast at Paris, by order of the Prussian government.

The price will be raised to Non-subscribers, in the proportion of one third above the price of subscription. A few copies only will be taken off on superior paper, besides those ordered by the Subscribers.

The printing will not be begun, until the materials for the whole work are collected, at least most of them. The first delivery, therefore, will be subject to a considerable delay.

The Subscription will be closed on the publication of the first Part, which will consist of two volumes. It will, however, be in the power of the latter, by becoming purchasers of the volumes already published, to receive the remaining parts on the footing of subscribers. No money is required in advance.

Dr. Carey has issued Proposals for publishing, by subscription, "Lexicon Analogico-Latinum," on the plan of Hooge

veen's Greek Lexicon; with an "Index Etymologicus," nearly resembling that of Gesner.

Mr. T. Taylor, the Platonist, is engaged in preparing for the press, a second edition of his translation of the Hymns of Orpheus, with emendations and important additional elucidations. In the Introduction also to this work it will be demonstrated, that these hymns were used in the celebration of the Eleusinian Mysteries. The work will be printed in one vol. 8vo.
