by whom they may have been dismissed to their homes with costly presents. 66 The song itself is, however, well known at Ghilghit. "When Azru had safely ascended the throne, he ordered the tyrant's place to be levelled to the ground. The willing peasants, manufacturing spades of iron, Killi,' flocked to accomplish a grateful task, and sang whilst demolishing his castle: " Kúro téyto Shirígabadátt djé kuró Ná cumáre Kille tég ráke phala tem. My nature is of a hard metal,' said Shirí and Badatt. 'Why hard? I Khotoo, the son of the peasant Dem Singh, am alone hardy; with this iron spade I raze to the ground thy kingly house. Behold now, although thou art of race accursed, Shaco Malika, I, Dem Singh's son, am of a hard metal; for with this iron spade I level thy palace; look out! look out!!"-From Dr. Leitner's forthcoming work on Dardistan.

" INDIAN CHARTOGRAPHY AND OROGRAPHY.-Mr. Trelawny Saunders, geographer, India Office, has rendered good service in compiling a Catalogue of Maps of the British Possessions in India and other parts of Asia." It is published by order of Her Majesty's Secretary of State for India in Council, with an index-map, which displays the extent to which the contents of the catalogue illustrates the geography of India, it having been arranged according to the actual divisions under which the government is now conducted. Various gaps occur, which the surveying establishments under Colonel H. L. Thuillier, R.A., Surveyor-General of India. are rapidly filling up. Mr. Saunders has likewise just published, by order of the Secretary of State for India, "A Sketch of the Mountains and River Basins of India ;" in two maps, with explanatory memoirs. This latter work forms an important addition to our knowledge of India, and both display great knowledge and industry on the part of the author. HINDEE-OORDOO NEWSPAPER.-A new monthly periodical has been started by order of the Government of the NorthWestern Provinces, at Besma. India. The title is " Mungat Suma Chur of Besma." It will contain general Indian news, and great attention will be paid in it to the unnecessary expenditure at Hindoo marriages. It is printed in two columns, the first being in Hindee, printed in the Nagari character; and the second will be in Oordoo (Hindustanee). This paper will be very useful to the English student of the colloquial vernacular language. Mr. Kempson, the Director of Public Instruction at Allahabad, has subscribed for 250 copies of it, to be used by the students of Government Colleges in Anglo-vernacular and Zehsilee schools; it possesses the advantage of the particular protection of that eminent Indian scholar and enlightened patron of science, His Excellency Takoor Giere Persad Singh, Rajah of Besma. The first number appeared on the 1st of August last. NEW ENGLISH AND CHINESE DICTIONARY.-The Editor of the Chinese Recorder (Rev. J.

GREEK LEXICON OF THE ROMAN AND BYZANTINE PERIODS. (From B.c. 146 to A.D. 1100.) By E. A. SOPHOCLES. This is one of the great works of the age, and it meets a want which before had no certain and satisfying source of supply. It is the fruit of life-long study, and of the direct labour of many years. It embraces all the changes in form and sense which the Greek language underwent in its adaptation,-first to the enlarged range of knowledge and thought consequent on the course of Roman conquest, then to the higher order of beliefs and conceptions introduced by Christianity, then to the Oriental magnificence and meanness, the mixture of nationalities, customs, and dialects, during the Byzantine period. It embodies the history of the language, its successive innovations and modifications, its adopted and new-coined words, phrases, and idioms. The list of authors referred to fills ten closely printed pages. The references under each important word are so numerous as to seem exhausting. It is a complete Lexicon of patristical Greek. The author, who, in his critical knowledge of the Scriptures, has few equals, no superior, has also devoted especial care to the Greek of the New Testament; and we hesitate not to say that, as a Lexicon of the New Testament, this work will be found richer, more accurate, more trustworthy, more suggestive, than any exclusive dictionary of the New Testament extant. It throws light on some passages on which previous lexicographers have cast only deeper obscurity. The Introduction, which gives a comprehensive history of the Greek language, its sources and its affluents, is a monograph, which of itself would be a valid title to the highest fame as to scholarship and critical acumen.
