VOL. II. THE NOUN AND PRONOUN. 眾 LONDON: TRÜBNER & CO., 57 AND 59, LUDGATE HILL. 1875. (All Rights reserved.) PREFACE. The pressure of official Two years and a half have elapsed since I sent home my First Volume. This Second Volume would have been ready sooner but for the constant interruptions to which I have been subjected. work has largely increased, and, at one time, when I was called on to take charge of the administration of the Province of Orissa, was so heavy as to compel me to lay aside all literary work for six months. To this cause must also be ascribed much of the disjointed and unfinished appearance of some parts of the work, for which I must ask the reader's indulgence. JOHN BEAMES. CUTTACK, ORISSA, April, 1874. |
