Nor ought we to omit noticing the genuine English feeling and ardent love of his country which so frequently burst forth in the poems of Cowper.

Part II-A Vocabulary of useful Words, English and Hindustani; shewing at the same time the difference of idiom between the two languages.

BY DUNCAN FORBES, A.M.

"In concluding our remarks on this work, we must not omit to notice the very small but distinct type in which it is printed. It would have been very easy to make of it a huge octavo volume, but a great book is a great evil, more particularly in the case of young travellers. Here we have, in a pocket volume (its size hardly entitles it to be called a volume) of 166 pages, more useful matter than in some ponderous works of high price, which few can afford to buy, and few will be tempted to read."--Allen's Indian Mail, Nov. 4, 1845.

"By the introduction of a small clear type, and judicious management, we have in this small pocket volume more really useful information than is ordinarily contained in an octavo volume. We recommend all students in Hindustani at once to possess themselves of a copy."-London Mail, Oct. 24, 1845. "To use his own words, he (Forbes) has thrown away the chaff and retained the wheat of larger and more expensive volumes. He has carried out a process of condensation to its utmost limits, confining himself to what is useful and necessary, without distracting the memory by what is either unimportant or superfluous. We heartily recommend the work to the students of Hindustani, or the intending emigrant to India."-English Gentleman, Oct. 22, 1845. London: WM. H. ALLEN & Co., 7, Leadenhall Street.
