Excerpt from Introduction to Kachchāyana's Grammar of the Pali Language: With an Introductory, Appendix, Notes, &C In inscribing, however, the present work to you, I do not merely follow a time-honored rule, nor seek to do homage to a Power which stands in no need of any evidence of our loyalty and attachment. But, remembering that it was your kind patronage which chiefly enabled me to publish a previous work; and knowing that to you, who are familiar with many of the questions discussed in the following pages, they will possess an interest which they do not possess to the general reader; I take the liberty of dedicating this work, as a token not only of my gratitude, but also of the high esteem which, in common with my countrymen, I entertain for your abilities as a Governor, and your attainments as a Scholar. I have the honor to be, sir, Your Excellency's Most obedient and humble Servant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
