AND HINDUSTANI.

*** By the use of a small, but distinct type, the Author has been enabled to compress, into one volume, of a rtable size, more useful information than is to be found in any Dictionary of the Hindustani language as yet blished.

"If condensation and definiteness, if due distinction between the provinces of a grammarian and lexigrapher, if to avoid faults, to reject things of a doubtful utility, to supply deficiencies, and to do all this th a determination that typography, paper and price shall be unexceptionable, if these in combination a recommendation to an author and his work, then Dr. Forbes' Dictionary is fully worthy of the patrone of the patrons and students of Hindustani literature."—Friend of India, Oct. 19, 1848.

"This work can be honestly recommended to all who are desirous of acquiring the elements of the Hindustani language, or of making themselves understood among the people of this country. We have seldom, if ever, seen such a small pocket companion with such a variety of useful instruction. The language of the Vocabulary and of the Dialogues appears quite unexceptionable. Any one acquainted with Hindustani will at once recognise its idiomatic accuracy, and cheerfully recommend it to the notice of all those who desire to come out to India not altogether unprepared to convey their own wishes to those who surround them."-Friend of India, published at Serampore.
