RIG-VEDA SANHITA.

A COLLECTION OF ANCIENT HINDU HYMNS.

Constituting the First Ashtaka, or Book of the Rig-Veda; the oldest authority for the religious and social institution of the Hindus. Translated from the Original Sanskrit. By the late H. H. WILSON, M.A., F.R.S., etc. etc. etc. Second Edition, with a Postscript by Dr FITZEDWARD HALL. The first volume of the late Professor WILSON's translation of the RigVeda having become very rare, the Publishers were induced to publish a second edition, printed under the editorial supervision of Dr HALL. Beyond the correction of oversights in quoting, translating, and press-reading, the amending and considerably amplifying of the Index of Names,' very little has been attempted by the editor in this new edition. It is hoped that this volume, containing WILSON's celebrated introduction to the Rig-Veda, not now accessible in any other shape, will prove acceptable to scholars in Europe and India. It may be bought separately or together with the second, third, and fourth volumes, which are still in print. The fifth volume, under the editorial care of Professor COWELL, is in the press, and will shortly appear.
