- We have not had leisure before to notice a very useful
- york, the “ Anko Chundrika,” a commercial guide containing
- tables of into let weights and measures and such like useful maer by Gopal Lal Mittra, late a Deputy Magistrate. This kind of compilation is one well known to Kuropean civilization, but we believe it is one of the first works of the kind printed for the universal use of the Native merchants of India; and, as such, we can recomm^nd it to their attention as a riseful and convenient work of reference.

method of reference is learned and we may consider the production of such works as proofs of progress amongst the Hindoos, however slow it may be. 哆 Englishman Saturday, 8th September, 1860.
