A Pali Reader And Pali Glossary: A Pali Reader With Notes And Glossary (Text And Notes) Volume 2 Vols. Set

About the Book:-In issuing the present part of the Pali Reader the author ought to express his sincere regret that various circumstances have so much retarded the final revision and printing of the glossary, the conclusion of which he knows has been expected long ago by not a few scholars. As has been promised in the preface to Part I. this glossary includes the vocabulary of the whole text of Dhammapada, and he has upon the whole done his best to make it as complete as possible. It has been his aim by this to supply the young student with a sufficient help for the first years’ study, until he will be able to work independently, and he has therefore above all striven to arrange the materials so that every passage in the texts which might be supposed to present even the slightest difficulty to the beginner should not be passed by in silence. Whether he has succeeded in his explanations in such cases, where he differs from the usual interpretation, he must leave to his critics to judge of. Before using the book his readers are earnestly requested to insert the corrections and additions given on the last pages into the text of both parts.
