This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you.

because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner

The present Index has been prepared at different times by various 
hands, which will explain the cause of many of the references being more 
minute and detailed than others. It was thought preferable not to lose the 
advantage of this minuteness where it was already attained, although it was 
impossible to extend it throughout without going over the greater part of 
the work again. 

The mode of spelling Oriental words is such as is adopted in the text, 
and is consequently liable to considerable variation ; to have made the 
whole uniform and correct would have entailed a great deal of trouble, and 
would perhaps have rendered the work less useful to the general reader. 
The same word will frequently be found spelt in several ways. 

The pages and volumes refer to the quarto edition ; but the octavo 
edition published in London agrees almost entirely with that of Calcutta in 
the distribution of matter, and the Index will therefore be found equally 
applicable to both : the cases in w hich any variation exists are noted below. 

Vols. I. II. III. V. VI. VII. IX. X. XI. correspond in both editions. 
In the other volumes, the correspondences of every fiftieth page of the 
quarto edition with the octavo are as follow : 

Quarto Edition, page 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500. 

Vol. IV. Octavo Edition, „ 37, 88, 143, 104. 244, 292. 348, 398, — , _. 

Vol. Vll. Ditto, „ 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 398, 440, 494. 

Vol. Viil. Ditto, „ 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 303, 357, 412, 408, 526. 

Vol. Xii. Ditto, „ 50, 100, 150, 202, 252, 307, 356, 405, 454, 502. 

In some instances the Introductory Discourses and Appendices are 
numbered as a part of the text in one edition only, and some other trivial 
differences occur which it is unnecessary to notice.
